New Aerocets spotted in Alaska
Information and discussion about seaplanes, float planes, and water operations.

Aerocet is getting into the metal float business. Market research has shown that some people just want aluminum floats.
I know, I know, it is only a joke, But my buddy in Alaska sent me this and I though it was funny. Plus we all know the best floats are riveted..

Market research also shows that people want their aluminum floats pre-dented as hell to avoid that "new float-itis" anxiety.

Zane,
I think you are on to something. I will start offering my customers that "Alaska float plane look" if they want their floats to have that real bush plane appeal. They can just let me dock the plane a few times and run it up onto a gravel bar a time or two.

For that real Alaska (or at least Anchorage) look, you could add the Lake Hood scum markings at the water line. Maybe a vinyl decal? Then add some water to the hatches and dangle some air fresheners inside scented with mildew. I think you will have a lot buyers checking these options on the order form. It shouldn't add too much additional expense either.

Now, that is funny right there!
