I stopped in at Kenmore Air harbor again to double check on the information about the new run of Edo 2000 floats that will be available.
They will make 36 sets of new floats. They are Anodized then assembled, then two part epoxy to seal them from corrosion. All floats will come with attachment gear for any plane that uses Edo 2000 floats.
Fish hatches will be available with STC for a additional $1000. You have to install those, they come in a Kit. The new Floats with gear will cost $17,800. plus shipping and crating. Tried for a discount on group purchase but no luck there. New floats that were built in the U.S were sold at about $24,000. last year. So they did come down in price.
Some repair parts will be cast in the U.S and will remain the same price, but some of the repair aluminum skins will be reduced in price.
I also asked about the STC approval for the gross weight from the FAA in Anchorage and its still being looked at, Very frustrating for Kenmore. Once approved it will raise the gross weight to approx 2007 pnds for the PA-18
If you need more help you can phone Eric Johanson he is the head guy for the Edo Float division at Kenmore Air Harbor. Very helpful call him at
