Converting c240 zodiac tender slatted floor

Howdy,

Just bought a good used c240 zodiac and waiting to collect.
Wondered if anyone has improved the slatted floor on these tenders?
I was hoping to either install an inflatable one or add a bladder and a recut 3 piece deck i have from an old 2.85m.
Does the flat hull on these have give in it to accommodate these mods or are they specific to which floor you order when buying new?

Anything would be better than standing on 5 slats.

Thanks
Dai

The fabric floor on. slat floor models is cut differently than the airdeck and solid floor models so it may not have enough room for a thicker floor such as a airdeck. It is also tighter to the tube to reduce movement.
