A choice might be to contact Orillia Aviation, they might hire out an AME to go to do an inspection. They know the amphibian Cessnas well. Certainly a prebuy on that type is wise, there can be corrosion and hidden damage unique to an amphibian which you have to know to look for. The condition of floats which float, can vary much more greatly than the variability on condition of an airframe we will fly!

Thanks for for the replys but I did it myself as I felt qualified to do it and and there were 2 sets of floats and skies and the 185 to look at also and I figured there were people in Alberta or Sask that could do the job and not have to go to Ontario.
