I built my own to fit perfectly and also match the carpet. All you need is a half sheet of 3/4" plywood a couple 2x4's some carpet , glue and a staple gun. Make a template of your space you want to fill and cut out 1/4 inch smaller than you need to allow for the carpet. Then measure your height and make a frame out of 2x4's so that you are level with the rest of the deck. It can be removed for more floor space by just lifting it out.

if you do as GotstaFish and topcat say I would use marina grade lumber in it. it resist water better and that is what I used when I replaced the desk in my boat.
