Material for benchtop in boat

[Ice Cold]

I am replacing a benchtop in my boat and am wondering what type of material weathers/holds up the best. The current material looks like a treated 3/4 inch fiberboard. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

with the price of plywood these days, not to mention marine plywood,(may have to purchase the whole sheet) you'd probly be better off buying some 3/4" teak boards and laminating them together/cut to fit.
Or, if you dont care if it doesnt last 15 years, then stop by a construction site and ask for a scrap of 3/4" plywood, then put a good spar varnish on it.
save the old one for a patern if possible
