Risk Mitigation
Sid,
...I forgot to mention, the primary reason for choice of a float plane design.
Most would assume because I live in Florida. Considering only 3 public use seaplane bases and, significant waterway restrictions logistically it is not a good choice.
I chose it for the simple reason of mitigating an extremely common replica accident,.... runway excursion, with subsequent nose-over.
Clearly you swap risk of drowning for,... say impalement with a broken structure, in similar conditions but,.... the runway excursion issue was too common to ignore.
