Montana Float Co. has designed a new set of amphibious floats specifically for the Sportsman 2+2. According to Keith Kinden of Montana Floats, a Sportsman outfitted with his new amphibs provides seaplane performance beyond his expectations, with water runs as low as 10 seconds, depending on elevation, wind and takeoff weight. “With our rugged new amphibs, the Sportsman maintains a remarkable useful load of 705 pounds, which will easily accommodate two adults and enough camping provisions for serious back country exploring. Max level flight speed on the amphibs is 120 kts, and normal cruise remains around 112 kts – a surprising speed for a floatplane with an economical four-cylinder engine.”
