I bought a used sea snark a couple years ago for $400. Fun for cruising around our small lake. Kiddo loves it.
Fly up to Seattle for your float rating. There you can take off from Lake Washington and head out over the Puget Sound and island hop. No alligators, just good fishing off the float. Just remember to push your plane further out when the tide is going out. Don't ask how I know this.
