Default Thinking about floats.

I have a Carl Goldberg Anniversary edition Cub that I was thinking about putting floats on it. I have never flown anything off water or seen anyone do so so I do not know what to expect.

The plane does not have a clipped wing and is powered by a .70 4 stroke. Would this be enough power to lift off the water? Which float kit would you recommend? How do floats change the handling of the plane? How difficult are water takeoffs and landings?
