>>>Unfortunately as yours does not have the aluminium floor, we cannot advise whether you can fit one to it or not.

Yep as I said they'll be batch buying from China with no more control than some aspects of colour and the name.

No point banging your head against the company wall really if by your own admission the two boats cost half that of a useable one knowing one was missing its floor.

Either make a wooden floor or sell on Ebay with missing floor declared and enjoy using the one that's complete.

and yes i think you are right in saying just get rid of the other one on Ebay because both the boats and the 2 stroke 15 hp murcury 98 model owe me £475, these boats retail at £800 for the boat, oars, seats and floor and sold the boxed one for £400 ive got a set up for £75 so then could not give two hoots

thats why i gave you an alternative supplier with the prospect of a sale they will be more interested, if you ask them if two floors can be supplied with the same boat you will know then if the ali & blow up floors fit the same boat.
its got to be worth their while in terms of commission to be bothered to help you.

If you are talking about an Ali floor and not an ali hull is it not possible to just take the floor out of the boat you have and see if it fits. I have a similar boat with an ali floor and it just slots in and is not fixed. It is held in by the tube pressure. The way my ali floor fits I bet the correct sized one would fit the boat you have. What is the cost to just buy the Ali floor

hi there i got in touch with that alternative, and clearly stated and indicated the floor and this is what they said

Good morning,
the boat is not in aluminium, the only aluminium part are the oars.
Have a nice day.
