Swim Platform for 1981 Ski Nautique?

[balkire]

Hello all. I am new to the group. I bought my brother's 1981 Ski Nautique this year and have been enjoying it but need to replace the teak swim platform. I have seen some posts about The Platform Guy out of Illinois but the form on his website does not allow contact us submissions. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to find this platform? I have been unable to locate one shopping online. It looks like something that could be made from marine teak wood. Please let me know any suggestions. Thanks, Brian

I think the CorrectCraftFan.com site is still down, but when it is back up, I suggest trying there. Lots of guys with this vintage boat.

Thanks Cincy! I saw that site during my search but noticed it was down. I will join it when it's up. I did get a response from a guy down in Tennessee that will make one to the same specs for $500. I might proceed with that option and will let others know about the experience and his info.

You can try Teak World....

They built about 90% of the platforms for all the ski boats being built in TN but I doubt you'll get any better that the guy that offered you one for $500. Heck it may even be the same guy or a guy that worked for Teak World at some time.

Hey bturner and thank you. That's the guy I am talking with! Robin in his office replied yesterday with the quote based on measurements and said Tommy is available to discuss. Hopefully I don't get hit too bad on the shipping cost.
