John,
Sport Pilots can not fly twin engine aircraft, they would be required to
"move up" in certificate . As for float planes , that is still being
debated
by higher folks than myself. I think the meaning of sport pilot floats ,
means just floats, not amphibious ( that means retracts, which are against
sport pilot rules) I just do not see this affecting sport pilots at all,
just rec and PPL's that have been flying twins with no rating for them
because they were homebuilts or what have you.

SP allows for repositionable gear for amphibians. Just what that means, is
still out for debate. The one time ruling I saw was that the flight had to
originate and end from water, or start and end from land. Kinda defeats the
purpose of an amphibian, doesn't it? I hope it gets changed. That is
stupid.
