Your floats are WAY too far forward in that second picture. The step, the notch on the bottom of the float should be no more than one inch BEHIND the CG of the plane. As you have it there you're going to have a very soggy tail.

With the step under the CG the prop will be at or extend past the front of the floats.
I understand putting the step at the CG, is there any issues with the position of the prop and the front of the floats? or just go for the step on the CG and it is what it is?
Does this also indicate the floats are a little small?
