99 Sport/Air Nautique floor board above trans/prop shaft

I am trying to find out where I could purchase this removable floor board piece. I have begun a full restoration and this piece has completely delaminated. Are there any companies out there remanufacturing this piece? Or can anyone recommend a material to cut this out of?

Thank you!

I doubt you'll find it for sale anywhere, but it's pretty simple to make. You could use a nice quality plywood , coat it with epoxy resin and/or wrap it in fiberglass cloth. You may want to build in some reinforcement on the bottom so it doesn't flex. It may not flex on day 1, but those pieces do get weakened over time. Easier to overbuild it now than to scab on a piece later. Just be sure to factor in the thickness and width of the piece when it's finished with whatever fiberglass cloth you wrap it in (if you do that) plus carpet. The raw piece will be a bit narrower than the opening it fills.

I appreciate the insight. I’ll go that route.

The factory uses COOSA board, it's quite expensive.
