    Does anyone have an inflatable boat with an air floor? If so, I am interested in hearing your likes & dislikes of this floor design (vis-a-vis traditional marine plywood). I am considering buying a Saturn SD365 with an air floor to eliminate the extra packing weight of plywood or aluminum floorboards. However, I am concerned about stability when standing, as well as any adverse effects on hull performance when the boat is underway.

    Thank you.
