- An Additional fuselage structure is added to support the float installation.
- An additional structural V-brace is installed between the top of the glare shield and the wing root.
- Wing flap limit switches or notches are adjusted to restrict the maximum flap travel to 30°.
- The fuel strainer is modified for floatplane use.
- The standard propeller is replaced with a propeller of larger diameter and flatter pitch.
- A lower cowl cooling lip has been added for better engine cooling.
- Hoisting provisions are provided to the top of the fuselage.
- Fueling steps and assist handles are mounted on the forward fuselage and steps are mounted on the wing struts to aid in refueling the floatplane.
- Amphibian placards are added.
