I'm finally going for it, I'm going to fly off water. I have been given a Sea Master 40 that I have stripped of its covering. I have made a few changes, replaced some plywood, reworked a repair etc. I'm wondering, now that it's in the bones, is there any recommendations for making it better? One guy suggested that I take the side floats [:-] and move them in closer to the fuse so they don't dig in to the water and spin it good idea? Also, should I mount those permanently to the wing?

Looking forward to any input!

Thanks
Steve
