The type of floor material that I was referring to is permanently affixed via fiberglass on the bottom of the boat. I had the plastic, removable, squares with a Clackacraft that I had before getting this Hyde, and I agree with what you say about that. The floor in my Hyde is completely different. Mine is a bit harder to clean than a flat surface, but not much. I don't know if anyone other than Hyde has this available, but I'm pretty sure it could be installed in any fiberglass boat by someone proficient with working with fiberglass.
