    I've never seen a Searey with pontoon struts like this. Did PA supply these or are thay custom made?

    Tom, I think Micheal Jaworski either created these or had them created. He use to be a Searey hired gun who built more than a few Seareys.

    Tom - the original struts were supported with a U shaped frame made of the lightweight tubing. This one was wrapped with something (PVC?) to dress it up.

    Ken,<br />Having recently taken off the old style and installing the new streamlined sponson struts, I can tell you that this is defintely not the original setup covered with PVC.<br />He's got the new style channel bracket connected to the floats and it appears to be welded to the front sponson strut.<br />It would be interesting to see more pictures of this and find out if there was a specific reason for doing it this way.

    Tony, I agree with you. I also updated the old U strut to the latest streamlined strut at the same time that I replaced the B hull with the C hull. I have not seen this sponson strut setup before.

    They are welded aluminum made out of aerodynamic spar type material.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pbase.com/flyrod/image/106988956/large.jpg">http://www.pbase.com/flyrod/image/106988956/large.jpg</a>
