Default Cub J3 on floats

I have been dragging a paitr of 28" plastic floats around for years. I have been flying RC since 1965 but never float planes. Today I ordered a World Models J3 Cub 20 (ARF) to which the floats will be affixed. The fuselage length is 35" so the floats are about 80% of fuselage length which supposedly is the ballpark figure of choice. Plane has a 51" wing and wingloading should be about 20OZ per sq ft. I have a MAX .25 to put on the plane. hope it works out well. Anyone out there ever use this combo? How about smaller size engine combo since most of the articles seem to concern .40 and up engines/planes. Any tips, prognostications or prayers would be gratefully appreciated.
