I'm not considering it, but has anyone ever seen an RV on floats? Is is possible?

Google search photos for - RV-6, floats You should find the two (a 6 and a 7) that are most well known. There have been at least a couple of others.

Greg Arehart Well Known Member May 23, 2017 #3 I believe there was a 9 built in Alaska with floats. Big downsides: much more drag/slower speeds/higher cylinder temps etc. Low-wing airplanes are not very easy to dock on floats (how many other low-wing float planes have you ever seen....).
