I saw a Skymaster on floats at a marina in Balfour, BC many years ago.

Well, they've put DC-3s on skis and floats, so it's not unprecedented.  I just can't figure what advantage a 337 would have over a Beaver, other than twin redundancy.  Which, given the rate of #2 failures due to heat issues that wouldn't be that big of a selling point.

I’ve heard the Skymaster referred to as the Skybastard more than a few times over the years.
