For small flostplanes pick a Cessna of the right size, basically. Alternatively, the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver or DHC-6 Twin Otter would be a common choice. The DHCs have features that'd be useful to monster hunters and the like, being rugged, having excellent STOL capabilities, and large doors so you can load and unload quickly and stuff awkward and bulky objects into them. I think the Beaver is probably what you'd be recommended to get as a 'working' plane in its class, over everything else.
While they weren't common in the west until the this century, there's always the An-2V (or An-2M or An-2W if Polish-built), the floatplane variant of the An-2 (which you listed up-thread as an option). It's probably about as primitive as you can get and still claim something is TL7.
