N Reg Lake 200 VFR with no FAR 411 & 413's which are another £200 plus a flight to a repair station like IAE. Ok here goes
Trust Fee £450
Paul Furnee Annual £2500
2 x 50hr checks done locally £600
Lake Amphib Flyers Club Membership £70
Hangarage £2000
3rd Party Insurance £1000
So you'll if looking at £6620 plus fuel at 45 litres per hour to run it. They do run fine on Mogas, but each to their own. Obviously the big area to save on is hangarage, if you can base on a loch somewhere. You need to be on the sheltered side of the loch, and ideally a smaller one will be more useful as it will be calmer. You might be able to save on the trust too if were, or had a US citizen group member. Thats all pretty solid advice.
