The Engine - making the difference:
At the heart of the machine is a 4 stroke 22bhp industrial engine, revving at just 3800rpm. Simplicity itself is the key here, we've used dozens of these ultra-reliable engines and reliability has been almost perfect! Being four stroke and low revving means it is very quiet, benefits from electric start and easy servicing. There's no need for pre-mixing expensive 2-stroke fuel and the engine only consumes around 6-7 litres of fuel per hour - which works out roughly 20mpg!
Whilst our competitors persist with outdated, noisy, thirsty and unreliable 2 stroke engines, Flying Fish are revolutionising the growing sport of hovercrafting with the 4-stroke approach. The use of environmentally friendly, low emission 4-stroke power is becoming necessary in many sports previously dominated by 2-strokes - Microlighting, Snowmobiling and Motorcycle Racing are just three examples of how environmental pressure is changing the face of motorised sport around the world. Quiet 4-stroke hovercraft are likely to be welcomed at many more noise sensitive venues than screaming 2-strokes are.
But environmental issues aside - do you really want the hassle and safety concerns of 2-stroke power? Do you want to be changing oiled plugs on your day out? Tracing a persistent mis-fire or replacing burned pistons? Floating a quarter mile off shore with a dead engine - hoping like crazy that your mobile phone has a signal? Do you really want to be measuring out 2 stroke oil and premixing endless jerry cans? Of course you don't! Recreational Hovercrafting should be as easy as turning the key and enjoying the ride!
The Formula 25 is a real delight to drive - The first time you take the craft out into its natural environment, exploring rivers, tidal gulleys and mudflats, you'll appreciate the responsive handling, the 30mph performance and the sheer manoeuvrability of this fun little hovercraft. It really is such an easy craft to drive that you can get on with the adventure and you'll quickly build confidence.
Though the Formula 25 is designated as a single seat hovercraft, it easily takes two people on land and has been used successfully over water with two lighter adults.
F25 can also be supplied with an uprated 35bhp engine, giving simply awesome performance! Experienced drivers only, call for details! This makes F35 a truly competitive Coastal Racer - for more details on Coastal Racing, click HERE!
The Formula 25 absolutely fulfils its design brief - it really is that good!
