    The thing has a great body for a seaplane. I extend the fuselage a little and tapered the end a little and got the take off speed down to around 160.

    It was just you landing was wrong for the center of mass. A quick test is when resting the plane should have it weight resting on most if not all the landing gear. Right now your plane doesn't use the rear gear to rest on, but needs the weight there to take off in the water. So be careful if you decide to remove it.
