just had one built for my boat. I went with Starboard (1" nonskid). The material came in 54x96, and as I needed 27" it was perfect with one joint. I found someone locally with a CNC machine for the shaping. He used my old teak step for template and positioned the joint perfectly over the bracket. Then it was off to the plastic shop to have the joint welded. I believe it is heavier than the old platform, but it looks great and should be maintenance free. It does have some flex to it, will have to wait and see how the joint holds up to an alaskan winter, but so far it is great.
