I have fitted an inflatable floor - it fits both my 2 old (1979 & 1984) Redcrests. It is a very good fit although needs standing on initially (afloat) to get rid of a crease when inflating - I suspect it's just a fraction too big in the beam to be a 'perfect' fit but it doesn't seem to be straining any seams. I'm pretty sure that it is a Zodiac floor, but I bought it from a stand at Beaulieu Boat Jumble about 4 years ago. It was marked (by the vendor, who had various sizes) as being 6' 6". I paid £45.
I think the floor was originally for a 'sportboat' shape dinghy as there is access to a keel inflation point and twin 'flaps' at the back. I'd recommend it - it transforms getting in and out and keeps any errant water below the floor and away from the feet. If you find a source, let me know and I'll get another!
