Actually, there was a Skunk Works seaplane fighter study in the early 1980s, probably because of the difficulty of cratering a lake.

And you could probably use active ride control/smart actuators to alleviate the Sea Dart's most serious problem, which was that the high-speed on-water ride caused the pilot's body parts to vibrate into places where God did not intend them to be.
