Type of floats for a Cessna 180

[tazin river]

Afternoon folks

This has probably been discussed before but I was just wondering what other type of floats can be used on our C 180 already on pontoons? We are currently using the Edo's 2870.

Cheers and thanks

You didn’t say what year you 180 was but I am partial to cap 3000’s.
Also might get more exposure moving this to the general thread from accidents.

I had 2870’s on my 57’ C-180.

Didn’t love them but didn’t hate them either until I checked out an owner on his 185 on brand new Aerocet 3500L’s I think it was… Night and day compared to the edo’s on my 180 or the PK 3000’s I had flown a 185 on before.

Hope this helps and good luck as everything has become evermore so expensive than it once was!

Thanks for the info.

For us inexperienced floatplane pilots, it would be interesting to learn what the differences are and why.
