Some more information
Waco J2W-1.

Historical Information:
The Coast Guard purchased three Waco cabin model EQC-6 biplanes for use with the newly commissioned Treasury Class cutters as observation craft. They were extremely versatile and could be used with standard wheels, skis, or floats. One aircraft was assigned to the USCGC Spencer before being transferred to Air Station Brooklyn. Eventually all three aircraft were transferred to the Texas Air Patrol Detachment. Unfortunately all three were destroyed in crashes in 1939.
