The pilot was preparing to take off in a seaplane at Palm Beach when it passed through the wake of a motorboat, causing the nose to pitch up and left wing to drop. The pilot released some up elevator pressure and applied the right aileron to counter the roll, which had little effect. The aircraft then passed through a second wake, thus increasing the roll to the left. The left wing impacted the water, causing the aircraft to water loop to the left and the left wing float, nose gear door and rudder to separate. The pilot did not sustain any injuries.
