Trying to decide which airplane is best suited for our particular goals. Here is a list of what we need.

- Price not to exceed $25K
- 2-place STOL that we will use with floats in the south pacific
- Safety, reliability, and strong is the highest priority.
- Can haul 2 people and 100 lbs of luggage.
- Not too cramped as I'm 6' 1".
- Cruise speed of 100 mph.
- Can accommodate a variety of engine choices.

Ideally we want something flying, but if our price limit will not give us what we want a almost complete project is possible, though I'm leery about finishing another's project if they did not do good workmanship. I've been doing some research and these planes seem to fit our goals, but please let me know if there are other options.

Thanks.
