Bottom boards are the base layer that forms the hull’s interior bottom and carries the loads, so in this vocabulary they’re called footing. The footing is the foundational element, the part that provides the base for the rest of the structure. Bow sheets and stern sheets refer to the forward and rear sections of the boat, not the interior base, and floors is a general interior surface term that doesn’t specifically denote the base-support role of bottom boards in this context.
