Description: Lots of freeboard...a spray rail which acts as a step for very easy entrance...a beautiful cowl with oil cooler rad and water rad....a fantastic 3 bladed prop with inflight variable pitch control...a 3rd seat behind the fwd seats..lots of storage space and reportedly quieter than my SeaRey. Lynn got in and out with ease. Just hope that she hands me the cheque book with the same ease.

    Dave, I've been waiting for someone to come out with a modern-day Anderson Kingfisher, and that is the closest thing I've seen to it.      Attachments:

    How is it for getting in and out, Dave? (And do you ever think about that prop and your ankles at the same time?)<br /><br />Otherwise, it looks very interesting. It certainly is solidly built!

Dave, just install a Kevlar vest ahead of the dash for prop separation protection.

    At first glance, the proximity of the prop is rather intimidating but it is actually further fwd than the picture depicts. I have often wondered how long I would remain airborne in the SeaRey if a blade sliced the hull. I'm 6' 2' and my feet were about a foot aft of the propeller arc in the A-24. In any event, my size 13s could do with a little trimming.<br /><br />The entry and exiting for both Lynn and me was very easy. The seats are adjustable to 6 variations of tilt and longtitudinal direction.The rear seat is more of a challange for a tall person.

    I wouldn't worry about the SeaRey prop, Dave. The fiberglass might come apart, but that 5' aluminum boom tube is pretty hefty.

    What about control cables and stuff?

    You don't need the rudder in a SeaRey--right? And <I>stuff</I>--well, the right stuff is in the left seat.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or &gt; missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->
