What I want to know is
1. The cost of ownership.
2. Physical dimensions.
3. Cost of operations.
4. Cost of maintenance
5. Ease of operating the HC.
6 Availability of spares, etc

Are you kidding me?
This is info for potential customers. If you are one, then you could pm me your mobile and I can talk to you the business part.

Please note this is a military grade hovercraft that we have.

How did I miss this thread for so long!

A hovercraft adventure and that too in Chennai? This is awesome. As others mentioned please try to manage a sneak preview for the BHPians.

And definitely count me in mate.

Reviving a year old thread!! Any updates on this.

Wouldn't this help in making Chennai "water ways" usable ?

Coincidence: I was thinking of this thread, too, a couple of days back. What happened to the hovercraft?

Thanx guys. The hovercraft is still with us. Yup, the idea for using it in waterways was always there but the powers that be do not want it. Next time I take it out for a spin, I shall call all of you.
