Note:
I was Gonna do the same thing! but was informed that,"float struts have NO give or suspension". so if you landed it on land, (Asphalt may be OK). you risk breaking either the floats or the plane.
Wheeled Landing gear is designed to flex if you have rough ground, or a hard landing. thus protecting the plane.
Just my 2 cents FWIW, to save you a headache!
