Assembly of your Newport inflatable boat will take about 15-20 minutes (especially the first time). Please view the above video and follow the steps below to aid in the assembly and installation of the aluminum-framed wooden floor boards. This part of the process will take about 5 minutes.

STEP A: Properly place Newport inflatable boat floor boards inside the boat in the correct order and attach the inflatable boat floor boards at the joint locations. Watch the video above for proper technique & floorboard alignment instructions.

STEP B: Conjoin each floor together by inserting each floor boat (in the correct order) into the appropriate bracket. Once again, watch the above video for proper technique & inflatable boat floorboard alignment instructions.

STEP C: Now that the inflatable boat floorboard panels are properly and even placed within the boat (and the joints are properly connected) grab all the stringers and prepare for the aluminum stringer insertion. The longer side of the stinger is to be placed against the floor of the inflatable boat (leaving the more narrow/thin portion of the stringer facing upward. The motion to set the stingers in place is a rolling motion (not a sliding motion). The stingers are designed to roll into place and to secure snugly and not move. Watch the video above for proper Newport inflatable boat stringer installation.

STEP D: Repeat the above steps for each aluminum stringer so that each joint of the wood panel floors is properly secured in place. The aluminum framed wood panel flooring provides an extremely rigid and secure flooring system for your boat. Wood flooring is recommended for multi-passenger uses, dogs, standing, fishing, and all versatile inflatable boating applications. Watch the video above for proper technique & floor board alignment instructions.
