The advantages of aluminum floor is its durability and rigidity. Puncture-proof hard floors offers impressive reliability and practicality.

• Question: Why aluminum floors you sell will not fit into other boats?
• Answer: Saturn have several factories, with boats that might differ very slightly in length, width or bow shape. Because aluminum floor require perfect fit inside boat, it might not fit perfectly well into boats that were made by different factory. It may fit, or may require some DIY alterations. Aluminum floors that we have for sale are made by manufacturer that makes Saturn boats for us, and have first digit of hull ID as number 8. Therefore we CAN guarantee fit into boats made by same manufacturer. Floors that we sell may be too narrow or too wide or too short or too long to fit into other factories boat. If you good with DIY, cutting aluminum, drilling, etc, then you can make it work.

• Keep sharp edges of aluminum floor away from tubes, or cover with duct or painters tape during installation.
• Make sure tubes are fully inflated to squeeze stringers into floor channels. Boat tube should have no wrinkles or be soft to the touch.
• Inflate keel first, and position it such way that air valve on a top and in a middle of the keel. Then deflate keel while keeping valve in a middle of the keel. You will need it to make sure keel valve is properly position against opening in a front piece of the floor.
