I'll try to remember to take some snapshots for you in the next few days.
The sliding cover is basically one piece on top with two that fold out to cover the angled portion of the opening.
I would just make it out of formica covered marine grade plywood like you said.
Hard to tell what the original is but it seems like some type of laminate.

KC thank you very much. Just looked at your DA thread wow I got a loooooong way to go. I went to All American Plywood here in Detroit found a polished laminate in Almond that's almost an exact match its made by Lamitech $29 for a full sheet.

My 1988 230 Wk had teak panel overload so i skinned them out with white Formica. If you would use good quality plywood and treat the end grain with poly urethane cover both sides with Formica and then trim them out with teak stained white oak.
