ABSTRACT:
Apertures in the floor of an inflatable boat are provided to render it self-bailing. They are formed by grommets penetrating the permanently-attached, continuous and integral floor which extends from one lateral buoyancy tube to the other, preferably in a thickened region thereof comprising a flange attachment to the tubes. They are overhung by the buoyancy tubes, when the floor is generally horizontal. An area in the central region of the floor is raised above the waterline of the boat.
