Dale,

I hear you, it's battery acid and I've waged war for years as a boater! I'll be very tempted though, ......depends on what I learn from other float pilots.

Sad thing about Chalk's, I should look it up on NTSB, loosing a wing just has to be someone's fault.

Are you sure you want floats?
John,

I always did, never got around to it though. I figure here's a way to have it all.

Just found a private seaplane base a stones throw away from my build-site!

As for the water ops issues, don't really know enough yet for an educated reply about start, run-up, and taxi procedures, just conjecture on my part at this point.
