             Has anyone had any experience with hovercraft?  I have never
seen one except in picture ads in the back of Popular Mechanics.  Do they
work O.K. on choppy water?  What about on snow?  How do they move forward?
Are any commercially produced or are they all home-builts?  It looks like a
nice toy to add to the collection.  Any and all responses greatly appeciated.
Thanks
