The Cyclone 180 amateur-built aircaft was descending at about 500 feet agl on approach when the engine (Continental O-470K) began to miss and lose power. Uncertain if he had sufficient power to clear trees between him and the water, the pilot elected to force-land on the floats in a field immediately ahead. Shortly after landing, the aircraft went over a hump in the terrain resulting in a failure of the fuselage aft of the passenger cabin. There were no injuries.
