I thought that too, nowhere for the significant other to sit, but it is really well built and does look and sound  well.

My next craft is being designed with these facilities:

Cracking looking craft BUT.
Why did he stop on the water and not do what we all do ie, go up the beach.
 The cabs a bit antisocial!
Very small hoveheight which must limit its performance and as Bryan says I don't think it would be too clever out at sea.
 
Nevertheless a splendid achievement.

Fancy an upgrade then John?

No thanks!  I couldn't afford the fuel bill - in any case the thrust would probably turn my craft into a submarine if the engine weight hasn't sunk it before then!  I'll stick with my 70hp antique engine!

A 6.5 litre 450HP V8 powered hovercraft with what looks like a propeller from an SRN4  ???   Needless to say it's American  ;D ;D

There is only one word to describes this - beast!!
