'89 Sportfisher dual console panel

Any ideas for a material for the hard top?

Currently there is an ugly piece of some sort of plywood up there that is rotting away...of course (again...not my work....I am fixing all the previous owners short comings)

I know the obvious answer would be starboard....but that is awfully pricy.....was looking for other ideas....and thought about that compressed board stuff that they sell at lowe's for outdoor decks....that stuff is super strong, somewhat bendable, and weather resistant......was think that they may sell it in sheets that I could cut to fit the top....what do you think? other ideas?
