Dan's question pertained to the differences between the two. Him and I have spoken before about this offline as well. I dont see anything wrong with my response giving my preference after doing a lot of research into the topic.
A hovercraft's ability to hover over small objects or uneven surfaces is the key. The ride over hard ice must be very smooth compared to the airboats rough ride. Airboats, although could be run on dry land (with a lot of friction) are meant to be boats.
