Charlie,
Thanks for taking the time to make a reply and post your information. It
sounds like you have a very nice setup.
I have been thinking about getting something a little faster and was always
impressed by the Zenith construction.
Have a good day,

Hello Kurt
I have a 701 on 950 Zenair amphibian floats.
I have a Rotax 618, two cycle 74 hp.
Cruise is in the 65-70 range about 10 mph
less than on wheels only. If I were doing it again I would
go with the 1150 floats for better performance
on water and the 912S for more hp.
If you have any other questions let me know.

May I suggest the Zenair CH601XL on floats? It is faster.

Chip,
I REALLY like the looks and performance of the 601XL as a floatplane and
looked very hard at it, but in my mind I'm too afraid of the canopy
connection and what I see as emergency egress issues. If only it was a split
canopy and you could land/takeoff with it partially open! Looks good on your
floats too.
Thanks for the suggestion though,
Kurt K.

Actually, you can take off and land with it unlatched. I know this
because I did it. Don't tell anyone it was by accident!
And we can make an open-cockpit windscreen as well.

Thanks Chip.
I think the one I'd want is the explosively operated frangible escape system
that cuts an exit through the canopy directly over the head of each occupant
using shielded mild detonating cord :-)
Oh, and a roll bar too.
Maybe it will be a new option?
Thanks again,
Kurt K.
