THE ACFT HAD AN EXTERNAL LOAD OF PLYWOOD ATTACHED TO ITS FLOATS. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE ACFT LOST POWER AFTER TAKEOFF. HE MADE A RIGHT TURN BACK TOWARD THE LAKE AND THE ACFT STALLED. THE PILOT WAS RECOVERING FROM THE SPIN WHEN THE FLOATS HIT THE WATER. WITNESSES ALONG THE LAKE SAID THE PILOT HAD CONDUCTED SIMILAR OPERATION BEFORE, AND HAD ABORTED ONE TAKEOFF BEFORE THE CRASH. BOTH WITNESSES SAID THE ENGINE WAS OPERATING THROUGHOUT THE ACCIDENT SEQUENCE.
