but powerful outboards on fishing boats are all fine? So the fish can tell whether that hull with a noisy motor attached is a boat or a plane?

Ran over a large turtle with a Beaver amphibian. Felt like a speed bump on water. No damage to Turtle or Beaver. They don't scare fish at the reef.

Fishing ... If you don't have 900 horse power you are doing it wrong!

I reckon the biggest concern that the fishermen might have is that someone might spot them doing something illegal.

I took it from the news article, that the AFC Pres was mostly concerned with the probable clearing of sports fishing boats off the waterways that the float plane would need for TO & landings rather than the noise/activity scaring the fish into keeping their mouths closed. Having successfully fished the wiley trout off a float-equipped J-3 after some 'not-too-professional' lake and river landings in early days in Canada I doubt that the fish would be too upset to participate in any AFRC competitions. Could be wrong tho.

We used to water ski at the Nowra ski park and people were fishing from the beach that skiers were landing at departing from and still catching bream:spot on:
