Brian,
Particle board would not be a good choice.  Sounds like a PO (previous owner) repair. Either a plywood sealed to prevent moisture intrusion or a sealed marine grade plywood would be  better choice. - rob

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] V-Berth Board materials

I scoured the archives, but couldn't find a good answer.  What kind of wood
is used in the v-berth?  I pulled out two triangular shaped boards that look
similar to particle board, but I am little suspect that particle board could
have lasted that long.  They're not plywood which is what I am leaning
towards as a replacement after sealing it.

It's an easy fix that I'd like to do instead of laying on top of the foam
blob underneath.
