Considering Kitfox purchase (need float plane advise)

Ron ,..have you looked into installing gunnels on the floats? it will reduce the spray dramatically and ad stablility while taxiing in rougher water.

Thanks for the idea.
I have looked into mounting Sea-Doo sponsons along the nose of the floats but they are bulky and the angle would be wrong. Your methods seems to be better. Would you make them out of aluminum or fibreglass?

I would use aluminum,..and if the floats are made of fiber glass ,..or composites I'd attach them with like materials,..if they are aluminum I'd rivet them with a sealer strip between the gunnel and the float.
I'd use at least a 3 inch gunnel that tapered to one inch at the rear and out of at least 1/8" aluminum
