The Hoverstream Coastal Pro II Hovercraft

How can so many features come from one incredible hovercraft? It can with the Coastal Pro II. This 3-4 seat hovercraft, designed for commercial, recreational or rescue usage, has more of everything - more space, more payload capacity and more thrust. And we're just getting started! A dedicated lift engine and large footprint allow it to safely carry a huge load. That separate lift engine also gives the craft unrivaled maneuverability and full obstacle clearance, even at a standstill or low speed. The huge, aerodynamically clean thrust duct produces amazing thrust figures. Novices will learn to drive it quickly and easily, making it an excellent choice for organizations where training time is reduced over more complex machines. It's the ULTIMATE hovercraft - nothing else out there like it!

Let us count the ways

It makes a great family cruiser due to the roomy cockpit and ample storage space for camping gear, fishing equipment or anything else you might want to bring along.
It provides ample space for commercial use, such as water treatment, mosquito abatement or passenger operations.
It can also be set up for emergency respondors with a stretcher board and plenty of extra space for rescue gear.

Using a Separate Engine for Lift and Thrust Has Significant Advantages

Full obstacle clearance height at all times
Ultimate maneuverability - will spin on a dime at will
Perfect lift setting with any payload at any speed
ONLY a twin - engine hovercraft can maintain a slow speed over rough terrain without compromising ground clearance. This is particularly important on ice!
One person can EASILY 'walk' the hovercraft in tight quarters with the thrust engine turned off

Four-stroke hovercraft are the wave of the future! They always start right up. Using a fraction of the fuel, they're immensely quieter with far few emissions. We discontinued two-stroke powered craft long ago and became the first hovercraft manufacturer to use the 'Big Block' Vanguard motor. The use of environmentally friendly, low emission four-stroke power is becoming necessary in many sports previously dominated by two-strokes. Boats and snowmobiles being two obvious examples of how environmental pressure is changing the face of motorized sport. In fact, two-stroke engines are now actually banned in many areas. Quieter, cleaner, far more reliable and a fraction of the fuel consumption means a better hovercraft experience for everyone!
