It is 1/8", a bit floppier than 1/4" wood, but very strong and durable....plus with a randomly ( loosely termed ) raised texture and a semi gloss look, it seems to be a great material for this.

	Another consideration is how to cut it. A jigsaw would have worked and we were going to do it that way until Gena saw the guy who loaded up our truck with our order cutting some up with a grinder with a thin blade. Monkey see monkey do ( photo left ) and it is very accurate and quick! Makes lots of dust though, so we had to wear masks during more intense cutting. It is still pretty cold out, but we managed to crack open one of the hatches to get some air circulating.
Near the bottom of the panel, the radius and boats curve made wavey shapes in the panel, which was expected, but won't be much of a concern as these areas will all be hidden behind seats or cupboards.
	The 4 foot width made them all come up short so we will be adding end pieces down to butt into the flooring. This will protect the foam. Under the decks aren't very visible, but must be done as they will be seen...especially from the berth in the forward stateroom!

Also before laying in the panelling, Gena came up with the idea of putting in some thin foam padding. You can see it coming out under the panel in the top image. This will make it somewhat cushened, add to sound proofing, as well as act as a water barrier. It is normally used under the new style thin wood flooring now available, as padding.
