Next was the Expedition,a four door five seat float plane. It's made by the same manufacturer as a Maule. it has 210 horsepower and cruses at 150 mph. I liked it because of the horsepower but also the large seaplane doors and the 150 mph cruse. But they only started making them a few years ago so they are about two hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
The next airplane is still one of my favorites, a Cessna 206 turbo amphibian. Its got six seats and a cruse speed of 180 mph and 180 horsepower. The main reason I liked this aircraft is the six person haul and the speed... pretty fast but not to fast; a great 'hopper' from lake to lake.
This one is a Pilatus p-c 6, I don't know the exact speed or horsepower but for 1.2 million dollars I would guess its pretty high.
This particular aircraft is Taylor craft. Its cruse speed is 85 mph and it has only 75 horsepower.
It can go on floats but that decreases the speed to 65 mph so as you can see it is a slow plane.
Next was a Cessna ag cat, with 275 horsepower and a cruse speed of 200 mph, it only seats one person because its a crop duster (or sprayer).
This is my favorite, an aero comp 10. 660 horsepower and a cruse speed of 280 mph and it can seat 10 people. It also can be built by you.
