Wired Article on Hovercraft
http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mods/multimedia/2007/08/gallery_hovercraft
Not naming any of our Pelican brethren... but here's an excerpt from page 1: While hovercraft have found their niche in out-of-the way ferry services, arctic rescue, military amphibious assault and as a perennial garage project for tinkering nerds, problems and functional limitations keep this tech on the sidelines. Enjoy! JP

Oh sure but as soon as you need a arctic rescue or want to mount a military amphibious assault he'll be you best friend!

Yep, I read this one just last week.
It's funny. A new roll of skirt fabric came in today, 16 yards x 60 inches, still don't know the best way to thermally seal it - I"ll figure it out.
