Thanks for the reply...yeah I wouldn't think there would be any permanent damage or anything...it might just take away from the beauty of the pond etc, which might not make the rest of the family all too happy...Of course, I could always go with an amphibian plane in case the thing puts too much oil into the water. And then there's electric.....

Anyway, the more I research it, the more I realize I MUST HAVE A SEAPLANE!!!![>:]
