I have flown at least 10 different float planes over the years including many Seamasters, Sealane, Icon, Seawind, CG J-3's, Northstar, Drake, Laker and many others I can't remember. In the last year I have been flying more electrics with the Icon and Seawind, both pretty good planes. But overall, if I could only have one, I would pick the Seamaster, just the best all around design IMHO. The perfect Seamaster would be an electric conversion, which I'm working on, see below. I'm thinking a Power 32 with 4 cells.
