Default Questions on Avon Inflatable Dinghy Floorboards

Are you trying to insert and remove the floorboards with the boat
inflated?

The floor in my Zodiac works slightly differently, but once the tubes
are inflated I can't posisbly imagine an easy way to get them in or
out. Maybe a good thing, as they won't be falling out when the dinghy
is hauled up with a davit or even towed in rough seas.

Maybe Avon floors are supposed to be inserted and removed with the
boat inflated. I would guess more likely not- but it would be a guess.

This is with the boat deflated - like the Zodiac there is no way you
would get the floorboards in with the boat inflated.

The trouble is there is a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get them in
with the boat deflated.

Thanks

Chris
