That's also a favorite, been a fan for a couple years. Jimmy Buffett, I read somewhere, at least ordered an Antilles Goose, with the piston engines. Don't know if he ever got it. The Republic SeaBee is another, as well as the Icon A5.

Lest we forget the Martin Mars, last of the Clippers. Don't know if the other has finished refurb.

Thanks for the link, I remembered the part about him saying you had to hear that 'GRrrrrrrrr'. Didn't know Buffet had one, had to go back and check the gallery on Antilles' site to make sure that wasn't Jimmy's in the pics. Not sure how many they built, sold at least one. Guess he tired of waiting.

You know it is. The pilot just has to take it real easy on the turns.
