Default Good inexpensive back-up pool board

I'm riding a Pool Pirate and am very happy with it. However, I'd like to have a backup board and am wondering what inexpensive options there are for a good quality pool deck with similiar dimensions. I love the Pool Pirate, but the decks ain't cheap.
Eastbilt (at around $25) certainly has a good thing going, and I read great reviews, but they don't have an option in stock with similiar dimensions to my deck:
Construction: 7 ply maple
Length: 34.5 inches.
Width: 10.25 - 184
Wheelbase: 16.50 inches
Tail: 6.50 inches.
Nose: 7.00 inches
Concave: Smooth and even throughout

Any suggestions?

I know Eastbilt makes uncut pressed boards, so just planks of 7 ply maple, just needed to be cut...maybe thats something?

PP,

I have an Eastbilt Knox I would be willing to sell if you are interested. I bought it as a backup, but need some $$$ quick. I had it gripped with Jessup and have only ridden it for 1 hour just to get a feel for it. I don't even think there is a mark on it. It is 9"x32" with a nice concave nose and tail. I paid $30 for it plus $10 shipping plus $6 for griptape. I would like to get $25 plus shipping for it since it is practically brand new and already gripped. Check around on here as a lot of guys like it. I will probably end up getting another one when my cash flow improves. Here's a link to some pictures of it:

CC,
Sounds good. How do you suggest we move forward? Do I post my email address? Or is there a better way?
