I had to make a new teak forward platform for my ribside, shown here. It is an exact copy of the original, but stronger (uses 4/4 decking) and better detailed, in my humble opinion!

I have a complete dimensioned drawing of it which I could send to you if interested, and which includes the support beams on the underside.

Both the center console and the locker cover are made from teak flooring strips, readily available from Jamestown Distributors. They also sell the teak deck white caulking required. If you have some carpentry skills, you should be able to reproduce yours using this material. I believe Mike at Nautical Lumber also makes them to order.

Here is mine, which is original from the factory.

The last photo also shows the new teak side supports installed for the forward platform. In addition to these, only a short 7/8" SS tubing support is needed on the aft cross beam, which can be seen in the first photo.
