Default RE: Float Help

I got the plane home. It does have the gee bee floats. The floats appear to be even with each other. The water rudder hangs down way to low if it is not suposed to be below the step of the float. I have a picture of the float even with my counter top. I am thinking of just triming the float at the marker line because the mount cannot be moved up without fabricating a bracket and adding weight. Is this ok. Let me know. I am also sealing everything with silicone on the floats. Take a look at the brackets. When sitting on a flat surface the floats will tip side to side if you push on the plane. This is not a huge movement but enough to affect it on a take off run. Thanks again for the help.
