A couple uncles had a "Huff & Puff" for several years. There usage slowed down to the point that they donated it to a missionary organization in Alaska. Apparently, they are highly prized in that role for getting a pretty heavy load in and out of short, rough strips. They particularly like the 1963 only fixed-gear model 336, because of a higher-lift airfoil. The downside is a slower cruising speed than the 337, with retractable gear and the faster airfoil design.
It could be configured with six seats, leaving no room for baggage, or four seats and a large luggage area where the rear two seats were removed. The other option was the belly pod, like in the above picture, to allow luggage space with all six seats installed.
