The Marlin line is the most popular recreational hovercraft in the world, and for good reason. First is its unsurpassed reliability. The Marlin is the only modern small hovercraft to have crossed the English Channel. And, its done so four times, in both directions! Marlin owners know they can take their hovercraft to the most remote locations, cruising along for hundreds of miles with total peace of mind.
Unlike most commercially manufactured hovercraft, the Marlin uses a FOUR stroke engine. Four stroke hovercraft are the way of the future. They always start right up. They use a fraction of the fuel. Theyre immensely quieter. They have far few emissions. Quieter, cleaner, far more reliable, and a fraction of the fuel consumption means a better hovercraft experience for everyone.
The strong yet lightweight hull features a composite construction with Kevlar bottom reinforcement for the best possible protection with very little weight. All fittings are marine quality and designed for a harsh salt-water environment. Superb floatation characteristics keep the Marlin floating like a cork, making it a great platform for fishing hard to reach areas or thin, broken ice. Best of all, its simple and fun to drive. Most people are driving it easily within 10 minutes! A comfortable, roomy interior provides s eating for 3 people plus floor space f or c amping g ear, fishing equipment, or anything else you may Want to bring along.The Marlin i s all a bout versatility .
