That's so dope man!! Can't believe I didn't see this till now! Florida seems like the perfect place to have a Hovercraft, so much flat land and marshes.

We in the Hovercraft community use to call throwing your body weight - "Body English" this was back in the 90's (when Scat was a viable thing and had a US "Race Team")... bigger craft like I have it has no effect on, but yes the smaller craft it is a useful technique. I had plans to upload my hovercraft videos on a new channel... I have been lazy when it comes to filming anything, but would like to just put some slideshows together of all the Hover-ins I attended from 1991-2003.

Mr. Wood! Congrats on the new craft!

Thunderstorm buddy, great vehicle and beautiful scenery! Where you turned, the fish now jump into the pan :-) Donnerwetter Kumpel, tolles Fahrzeug und schöne Landschaft! Wo du dich umgedreht hast, springen die Fische jetzt in die Pfanne :-)

I would like to see it on the beach if you live close to one. Or maybe on a river or Florida Canal. I suggest as a safety precaution to always bring a 200 feet rope. If the engine dies. You can tie one end to the hovercraft and the other end to your waist, swim to shore leaving the craft on the same spot. After you are on land just pull the rope effortlessly to retrieve the craft. As long you stay 200 feet close to the land you won't have to worry. Also the rope is good to tie to another boat. I love this project. I just subscribe.

Looks fun

very cool

Dude if I get mine running I gotta bring it down yer way

I used to have a scat ii a few years ago. It came with a Rotax 277 engine which wasn't powerful enough so I swapped in a Rotax 503. Much better but what you have to watch for is a plow in when going at speed. This is a nose dive when the pressure on the front of the finger skirts becomes greater than the air pressure inside the skirt causing the front skirts to collapse. You can usually tell when this is going to happen as you can feel the front dip but you have to be quick to move your weight back and ease off the speed. A serious plow in will throw you over the front and into the water, beware. You can see my videos on my channel.

So awesome! I was waiting for you to put out a video on this. Does it float if the motor dies while on water? I assume it has a fiberglass boat hull as a shell?? We need to find a HP upgrade or a larger motor for it so you can go even faster. Looking good Dakota!!

They fly much faster on Ice. At least 40 mph. I had mine on lake Erie. Scat relocated after their factory in Fla was destroyed by hurricane. Made units for a while in Vietnam then I think out of business.

Add wings to it. Just don’t go above 10’.

Hovercrafts just need to be better! Same ol heavy body under powered vehicle made the same since the SR-N4. Arent there any good engineers to improve on this?

There are a few Yellow SCATS in some of my pictures from the 90's I am slowly archiving some of them... Check it out at #FullTiltHover

By some chance do you know how the hovercraft does going upstream on rivers thanks

How much of an incline will it climb? I live in Winter Haven and my backyard has a hill.

Are parts for these hard to get . I've come across one I'm thinking of buying.

Do you know the spark plug and gap? Thank you

Any downside? It's holding up well?

Darn I was hoping it was for sale.

Your house has fencing built around and over it? Alligators or bad neighbors?

This would be the ultimate duck hunting rig

I can't get my scant to move the motor runs but don't go any where would someone no why ?
