Much better. A 185 on amphibious floats.

A 30 year old, 4-seat amphib for a quarter of a million bucks?

Must have one heckuva panel?

The floats alone cost more than your aircraft, Jay.

good fortune to run into the ones I like, and the eyesight to tell the

$85K+ for floats?? Wow -- how much do floats cost nowadays?

More importantly, what must their profit margin be, at that price? (Of
course, assuming they are priced so absurdly, they probably sell two pair a
year...)

You're not parsing "amphibious," Jay.
