Bud,
Your floats and canoe arrangement are striking - just checked out the pic you posted on the previous page. IMHO, I'd fly with the canoe inverted - otherwise you might quickly overgross the aircraft in a heavy shower

TripleDeucer,
I like the yellow one just fine even though they are so prevalent in this hobby, it seems. When the covering wears out, and if it is still airworthy, I'll cover it in fabric and paint it something else. I hope that will be many happy flight hours from now.
