Almost! You're thinking of the PA31-900SH!T, it is the fully optioned model with the Seaplane prop, High gross weight, Iron compass and Twin wing (i.e. biplane). Only a few were built and the last one in service was written off recently during float conversion training when it landed wheels down in a lake. It was owned by some guy looking to start up a new charter outfit out of KNX. The aural warning, "Gear DOWN for RUNWAY landing" was not required for operations in India, the aircraft's former home, and was thus U/S at the time.
