abt 20-40 miles away
in Ak. Land on the lakes or mouths and fish for Kings and then fly back
to my lake. Flight time prob abt 20 min one way.

wld i be better off:

1. just buying a supercub
2. buying a cessna
3. buy a fox built kit
4. Build a fox float kit

Hope someone can comment on this question -

5 Which kit wld be the best for that use? Short hops hauling several
hundred lbs + 1 or 2 passengers.

I have private liscense but not float rated yet but am retired and
ready for fun.

Are these questions too open ended?

If you want to haul several hundred pounds, most of what you listed are out,
because they don't have a high enough useful load. Cub, way under. Either
fox, not even close. Cessna, yes, if it is a pretty big one, most likely
with at least 250 plus HP.

A Beaver would be ideal. Big bucks, hard to find.

I think the Bearhawk (?) might work. Look it up.

Good luck.
