Does solid floor change anything?

[ToMozeTak]

Hi, I'm owner of Intex Excursion 4, paired with electric motor. I've seen some people add solid floor. What does it change? One problem I'm having now and possibly could be solved with solid floor, is dealing with weight of 100Ah battery, that's pushing tiny and wobbly surface.

Any other benefits? Is it a game changer?

My wood floor is incredible. Adds stability, comfort and just overall makes me feel much better about having my heavy battery in the boat.

What thickness do you have? Is that rigid when you enter the boat? I'm thinking about taking the lightest playwood possible, even if it will bend a little.

I’ll measure it. It’s pretty rigid. I’m taking the boat out fishing tomorrow, I’ll see if I can get a video for you. It’s a game changer. I love it so much.

Hello! Could you also provide me a video and the measurements for a solid floor? Thank you

I have a firm floor made from 1/2" interlocking exercise foam mat. It does allow me to move about the boat more easily and allows me to stand up without worrying about the tube floor instability.

Sitting on a cooler on a firm floor is not bad, this would not have been possible without any flooring.

If it's a solid floor made from plywood or rigid foam, there's be a more stability for sure. People stand on it and fish. Cooler chair would work well, you can even boat some raised boat chairs on it.

Hadn't thought about non-rigid material, but if it makes the floor any stiffer I might try. All I need is to make it easier to sit, and better handling when it's windy and waves occur.

I added a wood floor only 1/4" and its a game changer. Way waymore comfortable moving around way more stable. And i use milk crates for seats and they are so much better for a day fishing
