The airplane was damaged during an inflight collision with trees and the water during initial climb following a water takeoff after a touch and go. The pilot said that he had decided to perform a touch and go. He stated that after the takeoff, as he "... approached the S.E. [southeast] shore [he] was indicating less RPM and no climb. Too late [he] turned left along the shoreline and [k]new the trough to go through on the north. Only, in a very few feet it [the airplane] was settling not holding my own. A quick decision to try another left turn, but too slow, too low and no place to go.... Hit left rudder nose down and spun it in from 30 feet." The pilot also stated that after examining the wreckage, he found that the carburetor heat "...cable had bent in a "V", so the carb [carburetor] heat stayed on."
Probable Cause: the open carburetor heat air box resulting in a loss of engine power, the diminished climb rate and the altitude/clearance not possible by the pilot. Factors were the trees and the bent carburetor heat push-pull rod.
