I made a solid hull for a slatted floor dinghy ages ago. Just sheets of ply steamed to fit and a keel/transom from softwood, then the whole thing filled with foam and epoxied over. Attached to the bottom of the temder with straps, and worked quite well. A lot of effort though. With hindsight, I'd swap it for an airdeck tender...

Some manufacturers sell 3-piece floors as an alternative to slatted ones...ask avon.

I made a one-piece plywood one for a really old/tired dinghy : had to use tyre-fitting lube to get it in & never tried removing it, but it worked a treat.

Avon do an inflatable floor, it makes the bottom much more stable, works well on my Redstart.

Couldnt get my wife in the Dingy til I got her a harder bottom - in the form of an air deck, really worked a treat. Try it, you know it makes sense
