I like the Achilles 10.2 wood floor for basic functionality and cost. Although I know the set-up is a bit of a pain when not stored fully inflated on deck. John, the picture that you show with yours on deck looks like a great altenative to a fully inflated dingy on a 36 foot classic plastic (1966 Cal Cruising). Lots of room to walk around it.

I do quite a bit of fishing so the rib gains points for that and the weight is not bad. Of coase my wife will not complain about the weight of either.

$1,400 vs $2,800

Gosh, I hate to admit it but even if I won the lottery money may still be an object.

A couple of good suggestions all the way around. Such qualified input is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mark A.
