    I would ask how well they go on ice but since you're a little bit south of me I can only assume that you don't get ice like we do. I would love to check one of these out during our next annual ice age.

      Yeah, not much ice around here. But I know some guys who have used similar setups on ice. We’ve heard 20-25 hp is pretty good for one guy (maybe 2 guys on very clean ice), but the bottom of the boat needs some protection like polymer to keep the ice from tearing it up

    Any idea what the speed is? I have a 1448 and want to go air drive and get at least 20mph to cross some wide sections or make it up river in a decent amount of time

    • @LoneStarHovercraft

      It’s about 15-16 mph max with 200 lbs payload on a 1436. To run a 1448 would need a bigger engine and propeller. A bigger drive like this one will run a 1448 at 20+ mph: th-cam.com/video/Rk0NdHDG2Ew/w-d-xo.html

    How does it run without water? As far as big Lilly flats or mud flats.

    • @LoneStarHovercraft
      @LoneStarHovercraft  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      With the small engine installed in this one (14 hp) it needs a couple inches of water to run well. It’ll slide over some mud for 25-50 ft or so. With a bigger engine and slick bottom coating it’ll handle more mud and lilies.

    Can any of these just run on land straight up? I know it’s bad for the bottom of the boat, I just live by the great salt lake in Utah and some places are just flat out mud for several Miles

    • @LoneStarHovercraft
      @LoneStarHovercraft  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, small Airdrives generally don’t have enough power to run dry. They’ll run through limited stretches of mud (maybe 50-100 ft), but you’d need a full size airboat with a lot of hp to run mud

      Even with a 40hp vanguard?

    • @beesteezy18
      @beesteezy18 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I guess they don’t make a 40. Looks like most of the air boats are in the 100hp range or higher
