WTB: Port side Vent Cover, 87 30' Sundancer

[JVM225]

I need a vent cover for an 87 30' Sundancer. There are two one each side and they all look the same, they just face in opposite directions on each side.
I'm also looking for info on aftermarket replacements if anyone knows of a manufacturer, model number, and / or size. I would be willing to replace both vents on the side with the damage if I had to do so in order to make aftermarket vents match.

Vent covers are the same,but reinstall in proper direction for intake,output air flow. Carver used the same and some boat dealers have replacements in stock. I"ve always seen them on ebay,search SeaRay parts in Motor section. You can spray paint the vents to match and Rust Olem paint colors are close.

Thanks! I see some locally on ebay, but mine are original and mount with four screws, the ones I see use 6 screw holes. I need to measure mine to see if they are the same size.
If worse comes to worse I can always buy four new ones, drill extra holes, and replace all of them. I would rather just get a direct replacement of possible though.
I think I'll wait a little while and keep tryig to get an original. If nothing comes along, I'll buy four replacements and change them over during the off season.
Do you happen to know what kind of sealant, if any, I should use between the vents and the hull?

Vents break, I have replaced more then a few and found using sealent between the vent and hull makes it hard to remove the vent. I have sealed the inside housing to the hull opening with good silicon to keep rain water from seeping between the inside of hull and inside vent housing.
Check the local and/or distent marinas part and service departments for vents. (they never throw any thing away)

UPDATE:
I was able to get exact replacements from a local source.
Thanks for all the info.
