the previous owner had been running it around the fields on his farm until the engine stopped one day.
He'd parked it up on the trailer, in an open barn, intending to repair it but other things kept getting in the way.
I know how he feels, it took me 18 years to get around to doing something about my interest in Hovercraft!
So I bough it off Ebay knowing from the photos that it would need some serious repairs but the price was right!
I took lots of photos to give me a log of what I'd done but also to give an idea of where things went for when I put it back together.
Some of the deck had holes where the wood had simply rotted away when the paint had flaked off.
