Just curious if its a Trendsetterz Chan or the other guys?
FWIW you don't want a carbon plate. Carbon is very brittle. At best you want a carbon/glass hybrid, but really a nice thick glass one will do fine as long as its made well.

You could get rich making Cracki Chan Plates. At least until everybody that bought one has one.

I have no composite experience. But I am pretty handy. How hard is it to make one with a mold? Or should I say one that will last

I will say for what people are paying for carbon things or glass things it's easy cause u make alot vs how much u put into it in materials it's mainly people's time is what your paying for

Funny you post this, I'm currently working on making a hull length ride plate for the backie-chan. My friend needed one, so I'm making a plug/mold and plan on selling them.
Awesome! when you get them done put me down for 2

Sounds good to me. No rush, if you come across the mold just let me know and I can PP gift the money or send a check

Because i'm in a $hitty mood this morning i'll gladly throw a wrench in you plan...
Byeai and Yami-Rider are building ride plates for Trendsetterz Chan's. Steve was very reluctant to send replacement plates and the assumption was he wouldn't send them because he knew his plates wouldn't necessarily fit on his own hulls. Of course it could've been that he was lazy ("busy") and didn't want send them, because reasons.
I'll try and add a glimmer of hope to the painful dark and dismal future of your personal water craft experience...
Your best bet is to have a ride plate made very thick. The rationale being that if its thick on the "outside" then you have plenty of material you can grind off to get proper fitment against your ski without making the new plate too thin.
I don't know how you guys manage to drill new holes for those plates.
Good luck.
