forum has been added for you guys that fly around on floats, etc.
I'm a fan, but not a participant yet... in the early phase of a search.
What is your typical cruise speed and fuel burn on amphibs with a Husky at around 8,000 ft?
Have you had the opportunity to depart lakes/rivers with others flying the various Cessna amphibs? If you have a 185/182 with Sportsman/Wing-X extension with a similar load camping with you (two people, camping/fishing stuff and 3 hours of fuel), Is the Husky still in a "completely different realm" for distance/time off the water or does the 300hp & larger wing make up for the airframe weight? Thanks.

Great pictures!Glassy water landing. Scary stuff. I use 17”and 2000 rpm approach at 57 mph for about a 100 fpm descent. This lake is about a half hour flight west of Port Angeles WA on the NW Olympic Peninsula. View attachment 4347 View attachment 4348
