Walt @ Blackduck is highly recommended for wood replacement parts. He does quality design and work. http://www.blackduckgallery.com/WOODP...PARTS.html

When looking for a replacement part or accessory, owners have often commented on the high price of OEM-like replacements. Specialty Marine is known for its inexpensive prices but it is also known for its quality level. While it is your decision, we want you to make an informed and educated vendor selection.
