what happened to your original one? teak or fiberglass?  and what's your budget?

new replacement teak is some coin , like over $500, I just priced out one for a volante
it was about $625 plus shipping ouch Ron or I can help you out, but I don't think
either of us has a used one.

Just bought the boat and it was not included...I just have all the brackets..I would like fiberglass but would probably need a used one due to cost of new.

I have a mold for the Advance platform & the Volante but I can't remember which one the Legend uses, it may be a specific platform mold for that model. As for cost the materials are nearly the same however the labor is much higher on the Fiberglass one. Gelcoating, laminating, core fitting & laminating, Trimming, surface treatment carpet or rubber, rubrail around the edge etc...

I'd look around on some of the other inboard boat sites and SkiItAgain.com and some others...  They all werent made the same, of course, but you should be able to find a decent used teak platform that will fit your transom - especially if the mounting brackets arent installed on your transom - you'll have some room to move them to fit... same goes with the brackets on the platform.
