I'd like to, but I will not set foot in a single engine plane unless I
have
first hired two suspicious men who will kill the pilot's family if the
plane
crashes. I don't trust mechanics, except mine.

You don't have to go by single engine plane. Some Outfitters have
twin
Otters on floats. A great aircraft.
My brother had a Cessna 185 on floats but he traded that for a 210. He
didn't like the statistics of float planes.

He should have gotten a turbine 208, that's a nice ride to altitude.

Right now he is looking for a good 310 Turbo, with the Lycoming Engines.
Service ceiling of 35,000 ft.
