Default RE: NP seawind crashed, now what? (float plane wise)

what about a cub with floats, how does it fly? cubs aren't the most stable flyers correct? i have never had an opportunity to fly one, but it seems to me like it should be a good flyer, maybe similar to a trainer.. the reason i am looking for something with trainer characteristics is i have never flown a plane with floats so i want something that flies stable, but i want a large cub as well bc i think they are beautiful! but a couple of older gentlemen at the club say the cubs they have flown flew unstable and tip stalled easily, which i something i definitely do not want to happen on water especially! if a .61 size cub flies fairly stable thats what i want, just let me know guys. plus i really don't want to fit a .61 engine on a plane it shouldn't be on.. might make it a little top heavy as well as causing it to fly poorly.
