I can tell you about the plane fun floats....I have them on a Cessna 182 I converted to floats. They come in at 12 oz each for the size you are looking at, they come with great quality mounting hardware(4 attachment points with 16 brass screws) to attach to your plane, and they are balsa and plywood sheeted foam so you do need to cover them. I used a high gloss paint and then 6 coats of Miniwax Polycrylic sanded between each coat...keeps them lighter than glassing them, still very durable and they came out great. No water rudder so I picked up a Schnieder water rudder at my LHS. You will have to figure out whether you want to use piano wire or standard aluminum landing gear to use for the undercarriage and then attach to the mounting hardpoints that come with the floats.The guy who makes them lives in the Detroit area and packaged them really well and shipped them promptly....a super nice guy to work with. I recommend them highly.

Make sure you read the threads on float step placement and how it relates to the CG of your plane.
