Unless you can find them in a salvage yard you probably going to have to make them or have them made

Take them to a good marine fiberglass shop. They will cut them open from the bottom and remove the rotted wood core. They will rebuild them using a solid foam core while keeping the top surface intact so they will match the rest of the deck. Don’t waste your money on something from a junk yard that may not be much better than what you have now.
