So you got your PP-ASES, Now what?

Unless you can buy your own float plane/amphibian, save your money. Chances
of renting are slim at best.

There was a thread here about getting your Seaplane rating at Jack Brown's
Seaplane school in Winter Haven, Florida and after checking out the
website
I am now hooked on the idea of getting the rating.
I've come up with a small problem though...
Where in Central Florida would a seaplane rated pilot be able to rent a
seaplane?

The place up here in Seattle area if you get your rating through them they
will rent to you but they have min hull coverage some ware at about $200,000
on insurance unless you have 250 hours TT PIC or 50 hours PIC in a seaplane.
Check with ware you get your rating at and see if they will let you rent
after getting your rating expect the costs of the rating to be more then
normal because most insurance company's require 10 hours instruction.

I decided not to do my seaplane rating due the insurance premium was way to
high + the rental fees were twice the rate of land idd rather go rotocraft
if i am going to spend that type of money. I figure 3 years of insurance
would pay for the rotocraft training.
