Mermaid vs Seamax

Mermaid costs about RM500,000, from Water Flying
Mar/Apr 2006 Magazie(see my link),
Seamax RM300,000, Avio Riga(see my link).

Both have similar stalling speed, about 36mph.

Seamax is better for sight-seeing because it is a high-wing design, making downward visibility good, and more stable.

Seamax is also light so that even with a 100Hp engine, its takeoff distance is shorter than a 120HP Mermaid.
