MIDWEST HOVERCRAFT CLUB

The Midwest Hovercraft Club is based in Omaha, NE and is a newly formed group interested in building and operating hovercraft in the Nebraska area.  We meet every 3rd Thursday of each month, 6pm approx., at PERKINS RESTAURANT 3529 S 72 St in Omaha, just north of the I80 72nd St exit.  Call me for details if you'd like to attend the meeting or just want to know more about hovercrafting locally - 402 504 2457.Or email ulavenger@yahoo.com  KEVIN

Most hovercraft are home built.  If you are handy with tools then you can build one from about $1500 including new engines.  If you have the engines then you are looking at around $800-$1000 for the rest of the materials. You can buy manufactured models too if you have more cash to spend.  You can pay around $23000+ if you want the top end models!

You may be able to find a ready built hovercraft occasionally, but most of them are probably in other states, such as MN, and you will have to go and collect them. Used craft sell for $3500 upwards and generally $6000-$9000 or more is typical.

If you are looking for a Hovercrafting magazine then take a look at  Airboating magazine which feature hovercrafts as well as airboats, and it an excellent read.

There are many hovercraft builders and enthusiasts pages out there, for example:
