There are a few good amphibians that are out for Fs2004. Mike Stone's (
http://www.pmstone.com) Grumman Goose is very good. There is also a very nice Beaver here (

http://www.simviation.com/fs2002vintage7.htm) is also fairly nice. If you want something different, wait for Project Skyworks (
http://www.project-skyworks.vze.com) next project. It is the Beriev Be-200 and A-40 jet powered amphibians.

I'd like to add the Grumman G44 Widgeon by Jerry Beckwith to that list. Delightful aircraft that flies perfectly straight out of the box as it were.
I had a little tweak of the water contact points to get it to my personal satisfaction but it was nice to have a download that didn't need the flight dynamics tweaked.
This is in FS2002 but the author says it works perfectly in FS9 and as FS flight dynamics is something of a specialist subject with him I don't doubt him at all.
