That would be cool. Hiowever, to my knowledge there are no operations
that can rent sea planes out to pilots w/o CFI. Insurance killed that
about 10 years ago. It would be cool though.

The SPA still lists a few in their flight schools directory. But yes, it's
very rare to find solo rentals for seaplanes, and when you do there are
generally very strict restrictions (I believe that Kenmore Air, when they
did rent, had something like a 25 mile radius restriction...solo rental was
good only for local sightseeing and proficiency practice, not for real
trips).

I didn't see any places in or around the Lake Mead area (maybe the one in
Kingman is close enough, probably not though), never mind any that rent
solo. Bring your own.
