Hello!

This is my first post, but its not especially regular, maybe really a vierd idea.

First of all, appologize for poor english, i?m swede.

I have not begin construction of an RV yet but after years of thinking and planning and in the last time reading the prew. plans, i have decided to get the emp. kit this fall.

I have a lot of questions, but my first one is:
Has anyone thoght about putting a rv8 on floats?
I have read about that canadian guy with a 6 on floats.
Maybe a similar arrangement would work on a rv8 too?

We have many nice lakes here in scandinavia, therefore i got that idea.

Any thoghts are welcome!

Thanks.

The '8 is not that different from a '6 for the most part (aerodynamically) so it's definitely possible, and been done.

You might want to try to get in touch with Mr. Bowhay and he may be able to give you some "been there, done that" kind of advice.
