Hi BH

Thanks for your reply.

I've never flown a float plane,
but I've flown a variety of small Cessnas,
and have a couple of boats.

Before a boat gets up on plane
it uses disproportionate power.
I'm trying to understand
to what extent this applies to float planes.

I have an idea for float design
that might reduce drag in the water,
but can't find any discussion anywhere.

Thanks for any help.
