I'd heard about this plane awhile back but never really looked into
    it... http://www.airvectors.net/avps1.html <http://www.airvectors.net/avps1.html> SUPER STOL Take off at
    55MPH?!!!! HOLY SMOKES!!!! https://youtu.be/CWYaCDhlNyk

    A scaled down version w/4 Turbo'd 13B's would be an absolute hoot!!
    One can dream!

     Do not forget the Martin MARS. Still used as a water bomber in Canada,
       Virg Salisbury

    The most advanced from a hydrodynamic point of view was a
   Martin P5M Marlin. Designed to take off and land in rougher water.
   Very narrow hull. Lots of power, large fowler flaps  and slats would
   lower the take speed.

The Mars water bombers have not been used for at least 5 years, and likely never will be again. Been
up for sale for many years,
