Which Amphibious Floats for a S7?

[StuBob]

Searching here, I couldn’t find anything recent regarding floats. A lot of the older posts recommend things that are no longer available.

Full Lotus only sells the 1260. Zenair has a 1450, which seems like not enough, and a 2200, which seems like too much. Wips start at 2100. Aerocet has a 1500, but I can’t find a price. PK doesn’t appear to have anything small enough, but their website isn’t the easiest.

So, putting a Series 7 KF on amphibs, what would you do?

A customer testimonial on Zenair float website:

Testimonial & comments from a Kitfox Super 7 owner:
"We just had our 2nd season with the Kitfox 7 on your 1450 floats - cannot get enough of flying with it!
...Regarding the 1450 float size, I cannot see any reason why they would have to be bigger for the Kitfox Super 7 as so far my experience - even at gross weight of 1,550 lbs - was great! Bigger floats would add drag and I am not sure if they would improve anything on the water." Tom in B.C.

Check out David’s Youtube videos. He has the Zenair 1450’s and looks to be doing great with them.
