     Congratulations Bucky, welcome to the float world . Here's Magic number she'll need, 3 to 5 ahead of step, for your CG location and if it's a kit fox 123 or  any avid, one and three-quarter " higher front strut fitting, or + 3° For angle of attack . Feel free to call me if you need any help, you can make the  width spacing's anything you want,l  normally use 8 foot six to be legal on the highway towing, in the most important thing is the length of your propeller will gauge the distance  for the prop to clear the floats plus ,+ 6",  highly advise using warp drive with the nickel leading edge!

     You do know that you're going to have to do some work to get a 670 motor to work, make sure it has the lugs for the provision eight bolts which will  have to be drilled and tapped out, and crank output shaft is bigger than the 582 so whether you use a clutch or whatever that Drive it'll have to be bored for the new crank!!!
     If that's not enough problems, the exhaust will be your biggest !!!!!!!!!!
