![]() I'm wondering what floats you guys would recommend for a reasonable price, or what I should do with mine to perhaps enhance performance a bit. (Any STOL techniques are appreciated) I've also been looking at a few lake homes and some are on lakes with only 2000 - 3000 feet of water. A lot of guys tell me not to worry about it, but those same guys aren't flying on 2960s and I do not have a ton of time on those floats. first and foremost the seaplane base I'll now be operating out of is a rather small pond. There are a number of reasons I'm wondering about my options for better take off performance out of our floats or what my options are for switching floats. I also believe I read that I can have my 2960s converted into 2870s which is nice since our floats are custom painted to match our beautiful 180. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the gross weight on 2870s is 3188# and the gross weight on 2960s is 3190. We currently have EDO 2960 floats on our 1976 Robertson STOL equipped 180 As many of you know the heels are pretty long on these floats and they can dig in if you apply too much back pressure on take off which will prolong your take off run.
