Lol, oh I already spent my floatplane budget
That little 8F seems like a nice little bird! Low time engine and all, I'd probably try to hit him at 28k and see where it goes.

NOTES FROM OWNER / PILOT;
It is a straight flyer and in very nice condition. I purchased it seven years ago from Vancouver island and flew it home. At that time it had a newly overhauled engine and fresh paint. As well I had the floats painted with the proper float paint. The carb was over hauled, also new mags, wires and exhaust.There is a small dent on the leading edge. Otherwise the condition is very good. There are electrics and she is a good starter. For 85 hp I would say the performance is good and indicated is about 85 mph at 2400 rpm. The aircraft is all metal and there are flaps.. There is a small dent on the leading edge. Otherwise the condition is very good .
