if you are not interested in the high wing trainer, might I suggest the greap planes easy sport 40. it is a shoulder wing airplane and it slows down and floats very well but also has the capability to be a very nice platform for learning aerobatics. My dad has one and it flies really well. He had a flame out and it float so well he was able to make a normal landing circuit. But as everyone says, find an instructor and you will be flying in no time.
