Air Vehicles Tiger 12 Hovercraft in Commercial 2D survey. 11 passengers. Comes with registered 4.5 T Hiab Hino Crane truck & trailer, so fully road transportable which is very rare for Hovercraft with 12 seats. Can get off trailer in 15 minutes & ready to make money.
New imported 12 seat Hovercraft in survey is over 1 million & cannot be transported on trailer.
At only 60dB it's the quietest Hovercraft in the world, great for getting approvals from PWS etc.
Hull time only 160 hours as spent majority of its life in Hovercraft Museum in UK. Original V8 petrol engine replaced with low hour 6 cylinder turbo diesel which was required by AMSA commercial operation. All electrical wiring & ecu replaced, new radiator, new bilge pumps, horn & safety equipment. Brand new windows. Portable passenger stairs for easy access. Comes with AMSA approved manuals eg. Operation, maintenance, SMS, training, certificate of Survey.
Ideal for rivers, lakes, salt flats, mangroves & environmentaly sensitive areas. Environmental footprint equivalent to a seagull standing on one foot. Can fly over eggs without breaking.
Flying Fish video is of identical Tiger 12 Hovercraft, I also have current videos of my Hovercraft operating which I can provide & answer any questions.
Would consider trade for 40ft blue water catamaran in good condition ( max age 2008).
