twin-engine, six-seat amphibian
Greetings, everyone. Colleagues, may I ask your opinion? Please tell me—in your view, would there be demand today for a twin-engine, six-seat amphibian with the structural capability to conveniently launch a two-seat jet ski or quad bike into the water and retrieve it back aboard? Powered by two 180-hp Lycomings, and if the aircraft carries the jet ski, of course only two people on board .

Re: twin-engine, six-seat amphibian
How is that going to work? Sounds like a twin commanche on floats. You can barely put 4 people in those, and now you want to add floats to the mix?
Sounds like a seriously underpowered twin. The amphibs would be nice, but I doubt anyone would pay a million dollars for it.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship
