    Very cool! I made this exact hovercraft a few years ago and it worked great. I always wondered if the little boat idea would work. Have fun with it.

    I forget what the horsepower on the blower is. It was a midrange one that we got from Lowes. We are going to rework the thing this summer to see if we can get it to go.

  • what do you mean by ...

    what do you mean by the "foil that chips off" on the first hovercraft? also i think it could work perfectly fine if not better than the second, if you guys put that leaf blower onto the first hovercraft.

    also how many horsepower is the gas leaf blower that you guys use?
