The plug in wings do make a relatively compact transportation package. See SE in the back of the Mini-Cooper.

With the center of the flotation volume of the float well forward of the aircraft CG, you can see the thing floats quite nose high when static.

Early in the T/O run (still haven't got the low tip float out of the water) spray isn't a factor.

Attitude right at touchdown. Ah that was fun.

After these pix were taken I did make a 3/8 inch longer rear float strut to reduce the wing incidence relative to the main float and that did seem a bit better.
