Cesar P was the lead carpenter who supplied CTY interiors before H & L Marine ceased to exist. Otherwise there’s locations to purchase sheets of teak plywood. Or make it from Starboard.

The original on my boat was stained pine. When it broke I made a new one from an old mahogany church pew. Looks great.
If you dont have any church pews laying about then you should be able to use mahogany or teak or any other rot-resistant hardwood. Since the original was pine I suppose that would work as well but I would be reluctant to deliberately put pine on a boat. Marine plywood would be fine as well. Regardless of what you use, sand and seal the wood. Starboard would be a great alternative, though solid gold might be cheaper.

BT,
You might call CTY parts department. Nothing like going back to the horse. If they don't have any for that year, they might fab one for you.
