Zodiac 'fabric' floor repair
 
I have an older Zodiac inflatable, 8 ft, and the 'fabric' floor has
wearen through in a couple of spots. I am wondering how to best fix
it. Is it Hypalon like the tubes? Can anything be done to reduce the
wear and tear of dragging it across rocks and sand?

thanks

Probably get a repair kit from worst marine. Defender would have better
prices.
They (both stores) sell flip down transom wheels. Might also think about
adding a layer of whatever the boat is made of to the wear areas as
sacrificial.
