Hi I just picked up a sweet! 1990 Supra comp and the swim deck was not included. The brackets are on the back of the boat. Does anyone have recommendations on where to get them?

Well, congratulations on the boat! Hope the stringers are good for you.

That's a tall order finding a platform. You either have to find a teak or a fiberglass unit but unless you see one on here under the Classifieds, under the Facebook owners group, or on Craigslist, then you may have to make one yourself.

There is no one stop shop for buying a 30 year old Supra swim platform. I know some here have made their own platform using African Mahogany vs Teak due to costs. It will hold up over time with care but is only moderately durable compared to the gold standard of rot resistance like the teak. The difference being, you could make several platforms out of African Mahogany vs buying just one piece of Teak.

Good luck!

I'm just wondering if a local shop will have the brackets. The entire deck is gone. The mounting brackets on the boat are there but that's all I have. I am probably just going to take it to a local shop and see if they can source them.

I have the platform brackets for a 85 comp I don't know if they will fit your 89. Where are you located?

The 85s are one piece that go through hull.
Bet his has the slots to allow for quick take off like my 91.
I’m missing one of the three support brackets but having one custom made. Local weld shop can do it.
