I thought the name "The Slipper" was already dedicated to the TS3.
Kip  :)

The TS3 is the old mans slipper, the Otter is the new designer slipper  :D

This was the concept design for the Otter.

Of course this had to be compromised to turn it into a real craft, the main issue was the £25k it was going to cost to get a bespoke windscreen, and some issues to do with airflow at the stern.

I'll let you decide how well the concept translated into the real craft.

I think this manufacturer has copied the hovtec design :o

Perhaps the virtual craft looks swoopier, but the actual craft exists! And that makes it the winner in my eyes! One thing I believe is obvious- the screen dictates the style and as such there must be a 3D curve perhaps rear screen out there to improve front end style. Also the real craft is off cushion giving it a crumpled deflated appearance. Turgid skirts are better. Lets compare virtual on cushion with real life on cushion. There would be little in it.
Graphics can work wonders and would be so easy to graft onto a digital image.
No need to change the hull, just alter the perception!
IF beauty is in its operational efficiency---- just think if she looked like sex in a skirt?  :o 💃

Now play nicely please, or theres no lemon squash-----
It IS sad however we never seem to join up styilists that have obviously designed THIS craft. AND The Mercier Jones looks COOL.
Clearly there ARE more important matters than oooh that looks cool, such as thrust devices in evidence, that --- well actually thrust !
It is "perhaps a shame" that weve got good lookers OR good hoverers.
AFTER all these many years is it not time there was a "mutual coming together" of stylists  and knowledgeable practical engineers?

Join the two at concept stage and youve got a winner
