Unless you find one from a wrecked boat, you won't find anything aftermarket, unless you change the style of it. Is yours so badly damaged that it can't be repaired?

These are hard to find! You may find a leftover at www.greatlakesskipper.com or one of the marine salvage/leftover stores. Another option is getting one made for you out of fiberglass (more expensive), teak (expensive and more maintenance) or starboard (make sure it's structurally OK). I've seen prices all over the map for replacement swim platforms, from hundreds of dollars to tens of thousands. Here are a couple options:

Starboard:

Teak:

Good luck!

I just replaced a 1987 2827 Voyager swim platform from www.swimplatforms.com. Not the same as the original, I think it's better.

I concur with swimplatforms.com. They have some Santego units. If they don't have one for your particular model in their list online, they'll provide a quote and build one for you.

I've installed a few of these and can say they are a very good build and quality. While they're made to fit hull contours, usually some trimming is required. They also have options such as ladders and railings available.

Haven't heard from the OP since this thread was started. Did you end up finding a platform?

Here is the end result of my swim platform. I have used it for 1 Year and its Absolutely fabulous!
It's a little bigger, completely stable, easy usage for boarding. Swim ladder is in the middle and works great. Only issue is it might be a little heavier or it was mounted a little low, I get a few waves that ride over the top of the platform. Major improvement extremely happy.
