ZODIAC MK II 2259 (early 70s) - floorboard dimensions

I am looking for the exact floor board dimensions for this boat.
After 1 year of great fun on the water using an improvised board, I'd now like to make a decent one. I have 2 aluminium rails.
All tips are welcome. Thanks

With the boat inflated to operating pressure (240 millibar), measure from the thrustboard to the transom.

The total length of your floorboards should be approximately 25mm longer than that measurement, so when you "teepee" the floor in place, it stretches the hull lengthwise to make it rigid.
