I can't recall the particulars, but I remember seeing a biplane flying
boat at Sun n Fun years ago. It actually was an aluminum boat (I think
it was a 14' jon boat) with a set of biplane wings grafted on... I
think with a tail boom mounted empanage. I also think it had
retractible wheels for land ops. Maybe some other reader can add
details?

IIRC it was setting in a puddle of water.
