Flying Fish Marlin II Recreational Hovercraft

I LOVE this toy every time I play with it, but those times are few & far between so it has to go. I just don't have the time for it now.The Flying Fish Marlin II is one of the best commercially built recreational hovercraft on the market. It's very easy to drive; equally at home cruising on rivers, estuaries, mudflats or inland waterways whether they're in a liquid or a frozen form. (year round operability on these same surfaces!) It transitions easily from land to water & back again effortlessly.The Marlin hovers 12" above the surface on 68 individual rubberized skirts; it makes no wash & cruises at 40-50km/h while providing up to 20mpg depending on driving style. Dry weight is 225kg/460lbs; load capacity is 195kg/440lbs & maximum speed is 70kmh/45mph depending on surface & wind load.Ample power is supplied by a solid workhorse Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-twin 1000cc four stroke engine. This Japanese made engine delivers 37bhp. The intakes & electronics are sealed for salt water marine environments & it is equipped with a carb de-icer for winter operatoins.This 2012 model was bought new directly from Flying Fish in the UK. It now has approximately 50 hours service with appropriate service recently completed. A new custom trailer was built last year enabling fly-off launch & winch recovery on land or traditional boat style float off/on at a ramp. The Marlin & trailer combined weigh approx 400kg/880lbs. Trailer is licensed & road inspected.
