Watercraft and inflatable flooring therefor

摘要

Watercraft flooring including both inflatable and non-inflatable elements is detailed. Such flooring may be designed to support substantial loads while maintaining its lightweight nature and contributing to its longitudinal and lateral rigidity. Some versions of the flooring have an inflatable core with slats positioned both above the upper surface of the core and below the lower surface of the core at regular intervals along its length. The slats extend laterally across substantially the width of the core, effectively sandwiching portions of the core between them.
