Default Kadet LT-40 Kit a good first float plane?

Hi all,

I've been flying and building for almost 10yrs, so I'm well past the trainer stage, however, I've never flown off water. I want something stable and with a large enough wing to handle the extra weight of the floats. I was considering an LT-40 kit. I want to build it myself so I can make the necessary mods to float it.

Do you guys think this is a good idea? What type and size floats would you recommend?
I'm thinking either a 70 or 91 FS for power.

Thanks for any input!!
