Down hill yes, between a few hundred trees, makes it a little trickier!

I will almost certainly ride UP before ripping down. Couple years ago I did that at Winter Park in CO....3000+ feet of vertical. Boyne "Mountain" shouldn't be too much of a problem.

A normal plane on land about 60, but a float plane has lift built in to the pontoons and the air is 20% more dense directly above the water so they can lift off 45-48 mph

We have 2 small Sea Planes that are white and Blue, this one is green and white, along with the big sea plane that Bullet Mans owns. This past weekend a ultra light showed up at the lake with pontoons. Pretty good for our lake to have so many Sea Planes.
