Hey guys, I'm trying to find a plastic cover that sits on top of the transom of a 1990 bayliner Capri 1950. I already checked with a local dealer here and so far I haven't heard back from them. Any ideas of where to look? Thanks!

Yeah Pics would help but...You could easily fabricate one from aluminum. JMHO

Thanks for the ideas, the dealer got back to me and said that Brunswick no longer has parts for boats that old (it is 23 years old i guess), and the skipper showed nothing in its stock that was even close. So it looks like im goin down the make it yourself road. I thought about doing aluminum(or aluminium if youre british) but I just dont have the skill to do a compound curve in metal. Then I found Kydex thermoplastic sheets, which is similar to what was there before. Picked up a pack of 60 for 62.50, cant beat that price. So it looks like ill be doin that. I wont get the package until next week but, ill try to update the thread with results. Here are the pics of where it goes(highlighted with yellow tape):
