Most hovercraft are home built. If you are handy with tools then you can build one from about $1500 - $6500 including new engines. If you have the engines then you are looking at around $800-$1500 for the rest of the materials. You can buy manufactured models too if you have more cash to spend. You can pay around $23000+ if you want the top end models!
The hovercraft can be cruising craft carrying 1-6 or more people depending on the design. You can also build racing craft .
Hovercraft typically cruise at 20- 60mph depending on the design and engine power. Simple 4 cycle engines or lighweight car engines can be used.
You may be able to find a ready built hovercraft occasionally, but most of them are probably in other states, such as MN, and you will have to go and collect them. Used craft sell for $3500 upwards and generally $6000-$9000 or more is typical.
