I'm looking for a 150 on floats to puddle jump around Florida. Any ideas? I know that it was only the G,H and J models at were approved for floats, and don't know how many are out there, but the search has begun in earnest.......Thanks for any info/help.

It might still be there.

Yes, I saw the 150J without floats, but finding the floats and rigging seems to be the hard part. I actually made an offer in excess of the Retail Value on that one. So, I have decided to take the approach of finding a complete one in good shape, and modifying as necessary....I saw a very nice one a few years ago but wasn't ready to jump....now I'm ready and the hunt is part of the fun. Thanks, and keep your eyes out. Chevy | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 13 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 13 | Thanks on this one too. My home/hangar (FD44) is near Jack Brown's so I'll give a call over there and see if they know of anything.....Cheers, Chevy | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 9,272 Likes: 153 Member/7500+posts | | Member/7500+posts Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 9,272 Likes: 153 | Good Morning Gentlemen,
I'm looking for a 150 on floats to puddle jump around Florida. Any ideas? I have seen two 150's on floats at Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage. One has a leased slip and the other might have been transient. I'll drive by them on Tuesday to see if there might be a for sale sign on either. Winter is a good one to make an offer on a floatplane sitting on a frozen lake in Alaska. Man, a float flight from Alaska to Florida would be an aviation experience of a lifetime. I'd ferry it for you for free ... I'd even pay my own expenses!

Sandy, by the time you get to Florida, you could get your seaplane rating, Terry is a great instructor.
