5850 Straight Floats

Performance

• The most useful load in the industry at “up gross.” Ask us to prove it!
• New infusion composite construction process allows these larger floats to weigh in at less than smaller floats that have less displacement.
• Extra floatation at no extra weight or speed penalty, for increased safety at gross weight.
• Very stable, no ventral fin required.
• Clean floats and aerodynamic step struts give a cruise speed increase over other designs.
• Super large sweet spot, ease of use and the most forgiving floats for novice and pro alike.
• Very slippery – minimal sensation of acceleration is felt after leaving the water.
• Getting on the step is reached very quickly to get you off the water and into the air fast.

Hull Design

• Double fluted design delivers superior strength to weight ratings.
• Molded – in boarding steps.
• Sharp edges for reduced drag and increased hydrodynamics.
• External load tie down mounts.
• Large flat deck with molded – in antiskid.
• Best design for performance in both rough water and smooth water conditions.

Construction

• No corrosion.
• No rivets mean no rivet leaks.
• Common aerospace E-Glass and simple easy – to – use vinyl ester resin.
• Non – sandwich bottom skin, makes any field repair an easy process.
• High impact sandwich core used on top and sides adds durability and strength.

• Six Watertight Compartments
• No large holes for rudder controls (causes easy flooding).
• Large access panels with integrated preflight pumpouts that use all stainless hardware.
• Four large storage lockers with super large access doors, useful for enhanced CG control.
• Optional floorboards for flat storage.

• Aluminum keel wear strip that is rugged and easily replaced.
• Special aluminum chine rub strip designed to resist constant abrasion and provides another seam overlap.

• New extrusion design with internal shear web.
• Impervious to crushing under forklift and clamping loads.
• Simple, high strength, lightweight spreader bar socket.

• Simple external rigging.
• Utilizes stainless tiller posts
