Having been involved in power boating for the last 40yrs and recently been to the Southampton boat show here in the united kingdom and seen a hover craft (hovpod .com) i have become obsessed by these craft. the craft shown on this site is this suitable for the entry level in to hovering and should i buy the braking system along with the craft ? any advice would be appreciated
Many thanks
Dave

Dave, it is not clear to us if Hovpod have a reverse capability. Once you have operated a Hovercraft with reverse, you will not want to be flying in a craft which lacks this extremely useful feature. It’s akin to breaks on a car! You may be restricted to purchasing a Neoteric machine if you wish to have a fully controllable Hovercraft.

Dave,
I doubt anyone purchasing a Hovertrek ever does so without the reverse thrust system. I have one and it's amazing. I can get into situations in a river with fast flowing current approaching a log jam, and simply reverse back up stream and spin around. Without reverse thrust I'd be stuck in the branches trying to get turned around.

Of course I'd recommend Neoteric, but there are other hovercraft manufacturers in the UK and europe. A google search will probably tunr up plenty. I recommend you contact Nigel Squibb who is a Neoteric customer living in the UK. His email address can be found on the Hover Garage page of this web site.
