The certificated private pilot was conducting touch and go landings in a float equipped airplane. The pilot indicated that during the landing approach, the airplane developed a sink rate that 'felt mushy.' The pilot added engine power and aligned the airplane with the water. The right wing dropped, and the tip of the right float dug into the water. The right float assembly was torn off the fuselage, and the right wing struck the water. The airplane then sank.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadvertent stall/mush.
