The Model C two-place training seaplane was the first "all-Boeing" design and the company's first financial success.
A total of 56 C-type trainers were built. Fifty-five used twin pontoons. The Model C-1F had a single main pontoon and small auxiliary floats under each wing and was powered by a Curtiss OX-5 engine.
The Navy bought 51 of the Model C trainers, including the C-1F, and the Army bought two landplane versions with side-by-side seating, designated the EA.
The final Model C was built for William Boeing and called the C-700 (the last Navy plane had been Navy serial number 699).
