Floats, if designed properly, do give lift, enough so that, properly done,,they are not added too the overall load capacity of the plane, as far as the weight restriction. Drag is another issue though.

Who could not love a Piper though! I remember Admiral Doernitz making a quote about the "Damned little yellow planes", that could keep the German U-Boats at bay Great loiter capability.
