You would have to really need an amphibian to buy one.

There was one at Gawler a few years ago, having flown from WA. It sounded strange in the air.

 This is because there is a big separation of airflow just where the fuse contracts to make way for the pusher prop. The sound of the prop is different when travelling through the shaded zone and the unshaded zone.

The result is poor performance and high fuel consumption.

I learned about pushers from this... but I have to agree its a good-looking plane.
