WTB foil shaped stainless plate/ strut material

I need to build a new strut for a boat I'm repowering. Can I buy foil shaped SS plate capable of handling a 380 hp diesel and a 22" wheel? What grade do I want for salt water? Thanks, Tom

you can machine a solid piece into a foil or bend to plates into a foil.

I know I could make it myself but hoped someone had the tooling and I could buy some premade. It would take a heck of a lot of grinding! i don't have a milling or CNC machine. Thanks, Tom
