Inflatable boats with air bottom do not have a solid bottom, like boats with wooden or aluminum bottom. This is particularly noticeable in the lower weight, but also in the handling during transport and stowage. However, in waves, air bubbles can form under the hull, causing the bottom to bulge. This floor is also more sensitive than wooden or aluminum floors. Moreover it is possible to repair any holes with patches. The construction is much faster than boats with solid bottoms.
