THE PILOT STATED THAT THIS FLIGHT WAS A PERSONAL PLEASURE FLIGHT.  UPON INITIATING THE DEPARTURE FROM THE OHIO RIVER, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO DECCELERATE AND LEAN TOWARD THE LEFT-WING DOWN.  HE ABORTED THE TAKEOFF; HOWEVER, THE AIRCRAFT "SLOWLY" NOSED OVER IN THE WATER.  ALL PASSENGERS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT.  THE PILOT OBSERVED THAT ONE OF THE FLOATS HAD A HOLE IN IT "THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL OR BIGGER".  HE THINKS THE FLOAT STRUCK A SUBMERGED OBJECT IN THE WATER AND ALLOWED THE FLOAT TO TAKE ON WATER, THUS CAUSING THE EVENT.
