That is an interesting question, but one methodology I have seen done is to fly the float plane to a grass landing strip and plop it on the ground.... the same guy that did that, also had a dolly built that he could use to take off from the grass strip, with the floats on to get it back in the water.....
With that said, I also met a gentman, that had his home by a pond that was just big enough to land his plane and also take off.... He built a trailer, so that once a year he could move the boat to and from the pond.... and then kept it out on Winnipesaukee at a friends (my neighbors place) home for the float plane season.....
