Ok, when I'm dreaming, I want a deHavilland Beaver on amphib floats
with all the Kenmore mods. But lets be practical here, I haven't won the
lottery.

Is there a plane out there that:
- is on floats (preferably amphibs, but I know they add a lot to the cost)
- can carry two people plus camping gear plus fuel (say 750 pounds plus
fuel?)
- has a decent range
- has a transponder so I can fly across the US-Canada border without
jumping through hoops
- preferably side by side seating
- preferably a four seater, although a two seater with a big baggage area
would probably do
- costs less than $50K


No, but those Seabees with the 'Vette engine conversion sure sound
nice.
