Amazing!
85 mph hauling what must be the draggiest floats in the world.
I doubt I'll hold that kind of speed with my Areocets. Not with a calibrated ASI any way.

When I put the full lotus floats on a PA12 I lost 5 MPH. On EDOs it was about a 15 MPH loss.
On my PA22 I lost about 8 MPH but could only get off the water with myself and full fuel when I used the cruise prop.
went to an 82X41 and I lost 20 MPH but could then yank it off the water by a 6 count and hang it on the prop.
These floats are not as draggy as you think. I think the worst drag is from guys using round tubing for the rigging. I think with the wide flat bottoms they fly themselves in the air.
