who knows how to make a flying boat?
cool.
I am surprised that with all of the privately owned planes around now adays that you essentially have to build a flying boat from a kit. Nonetheless it is still very much worth it to have the fun of your own airplane without the restrictions of private airports. Of course some jurisdictions still require special registration and may outlaw them entirely.
Depending on your budget there are a couple of ultra-lights that take off from the water. The price will range from $10,000 to $21,000 but you gain the portability of being able to transport it by truck.
your best bet for a kit plane would be the Seawind Amphibian. Just look at the website, the thing is amazing.
If you don't have the time or expertise for that much work the SeaRey is your next option, fourth link in the references. It is still very much a beautiful plane that will let you land and take off on water.
