Wild-Eyed Fun in a Searey

For pure, undiluted fun, there's nothing quite like operating a small flying boat off a remote lake. In this video, AVweb's Paul Bertorelli takes a test flight in a new Searey Elite. The company is now selling these airplanes as SLSA aircraft.

Another visual confirmation Paul has the best job on the planet...

I'd like to point out that by some MIRACLE Searey has created a two-place folding wing S-LSA Amphibian WITHOUT PISSING AWAY OVER 120 MILLION DOLLARS !!!!!!!
Icon please take note !!!!!

That is too funny!

[@mojogrip]

😂😂😂 Icon is pretier though lol

[@freddiebowers1125]

Wow love this Paul ! Thanks

[@stevenpam]

Great fun aircraft, the factory build is a fantastic idea. I hope they sell a boatload! (pun intended).
Compliments on the video production quality, too - they seem to be getting better and better.

At one time I really wanted an Icon until it the cost got higher than I paid for my T-210! How did I miss out on Searey? Looks like a great retirement project! (experimental version)

He (paul)once called himself Mr diesel..for diesel engines

I'm not sure how expensive this plane is, and I've been looking, but for my money the icon is still a much better looking airplane, with some advanced features that will hopefully keep its market value up for a few years, let's be honest, unless you plan on keeping a kit plane forever, there's no residual value in kit planes...
