I don't know what it's called. It's real thin but not plastic. It's about $30 a 4x8 sheet. People use it around bathrooms and kitchens. It looks better than the rough gelcoat and won't turn yellow like paint.

It will bend up to a point. It cracks if you bend it too much. They make corner pieces and joints for it also. They sell it at lowes. I used silicone to attach it to the boat.
