Wow, I want one. I wonder if they'll have a 2 seater (or does it fit 2)?

*edit*

From www.airventure.org:
The two-seat amphibious sport plane is made of carbon fiber and is powered by a 100-hp Rotax 912 ULS engine. Its retractable landing gear allows for land and water operations. Other features include a sports car-like cockpit, MP3 port, and patent-pending Seawing platform for easy access and docking on water.

Estimated price for the standard model is $139,000, and the company is accepting refundable deposits on orders through its website, www.iconaircraft.com. The company initial deliveries to begin in late 2010.

Looks like it needs more buoyancy to the rear of the floats, or longer floats. Really seems like it wants to drag a wing tip in the water. Pretty nice looking.
