Yes, of course, The weight of the floats equals the weight of your
passenger. Dont you think all passengers would be thrilled
to know their own weight was putting the plane way over
design limits ?

What Kind of Idiotic Comment is that ?
I just came in from a 7 hour x country,
582 Kitfox on Amphibs, with me 205 + passenger 200 + baggage + Full Fuel
+ 12 gallons in jerry cans in floats. Picked him up on Asphault runway and
took him to Marina for fuel then off Glassy water and into Cottage
.......... back out this am and no problem.
I guess if you actually had ever flown a Kitfox and/or a floatplane and/or
anything then you could make a more educated guess.
That being said a Speedwing will lack the great STOL performance of a Long
Wing one but you might gain a few mph in cruise and i would rather not
havea psed wing on floats.

Is it?
Don't forget at 70 mph the floats fly themselves.... Only stress to the
frame of the plane is when it's on the water. That's why many designs allow
an extra 100 lb to the plane on floats and TC and the FAA agrees with them.
