It doesn't matter, right?
No, it is not at all!
There hadn't been anything new on the slatted floor market for 50 years—until we took it up as a topic! (August 22, 2017)
A very stable thing, even with engines in use.
First of all, the special feature of the Premium slatted floor
Novelty 1:
The premium slatted floor for iBoats is completely covered with thick inflatable material, eliminating dangerous and extremely inconvenient gaps where you could injure yourself or through which almost all the dirt would get under the floor and into the keel, etc. Whether day or night, you simply climb in, just like in a boat with a continuous floor.
Novelty 2:
It has at least one more panel to push the keel down properly and give the boat even more stability.
Further details on Latte and Kiel:
Until now, a slatted floor could never be used smoothly in conjunction with an inflatable V-keel, which is extremely important for the boat's good handling characteristics. Now, for the first time in the history of inflatable boats, it is possible to use a slatted floor in conjunction with inflatable V-keels. The premium slatted floor is tailored to our latest Generation 4 iBoats. The panels are automatically clamped when the tubes are inflated, allowing them to withstand the upward pressure of the keel.

Slatted or high-pressure air floor?
We continue to rely on high-pressure air floors as standard on our iBoats 260 and 320. The quick installation and the enormous weight savings compared to aluminum or wooden floors, as well as the high stability, are ideal for our carp fishing needs. Hardly anyone doubts the high-pressure air floors anymore – over 10 years was a sufficiently long introduction phase.
Air takes up space – that’s the height!
However, the high-pressure air floor also takes up a considerable amount of space – namely vertically! So, when it comes to the maximum loading height of the iBoats, the new "slats" have a clear advantage. There are differences of up to 10 cm over the length of a 3.20 m iBoat, a considerable increase in volume of a whopping 200 liters! The seating comfort is also greatly improved.
Starting with the upcoming Generation 5, sizes 160 and 210 will be delivered directly with the premium slatted floor. The high-pressure air floor will then be available as an optional accessory.
The main advantage of slatted floors is the increased height in the interior and the significant increase in volume – particularly beneficial for small boats!
Additionally, the slightly stiffer version of the high-pressure air floor isn't needed on the 160 and 210, as these boats aren't used for long trips with large engines and gear. You don't drive to the supermarket with luggage either... so adjust everything to your needs, and that's the best way to go!
And here it comes out!

– Premium slatted base: 35.5 cm
Tip for all XXL movers for even more space in the boat!
In combination with the premium slatted floor, simply let the air out of the keel when moving –
You will be amazed!
