Hello,
I'm looking for a replacement floor for a 2001 West Marine (made by Avon) 280 Roll Away. Its a plastic floor that has 12 slats and measures 36 1/2" wide by 67" long. I was wondering if anyone has one that is still intact from an inflatable that it no longer useable. I know its a long shot that someone might have one but its worth a shot. My boat is in great shape and really just want to replace the floor. Please let me know if you have one.

Thanks

York, pa

No, Avon no longer imports to the USA and the there parts are outrageous if you do. West marine has Zodiac making boats for them and they would not have parts for this old boat. My hope is to find one used for cheap that I can salvage the floor from.

Is that a removable slatted deck ? what's the issue with it, broken slats, fabric floor severely worn ? Probably could make a one peace wooden floor, a custom made thick carpet type floor, even placing an air deck over slatted floor. Post pics if possible...

Its a plastic floor system. It has rubber between the planks so that it can be rolled up. I'm trying to repair it. Only one of the planks are broken. The have there own interlock system that can't be made. You can't shorten the floor either. I know I could made a wooden floor but I thought I would look around for a used floor first. Its 36" wide x 67" long. Floor System.jpg

Can you use a piece of plexiglass to reinforce the damaged part of the floor

How about gluing a 0.9 PVC fabric sheet under/over slatted floor lenght/width ? Should be able to roll it as well..
