It had narrow strips with beveled edges held in by stainless steel screws which allowed you to take them out and refinish if required.

Now a few more listers, including myself, know what to call this 'planking'. With that out of the way, back to draining the swamp! To wit: some of this 'ceiling' in my V berth on my 1995 C&C 36 XL/kcb has been destroyed by a water leak at my forward port hull deck joint leak--since repaired. What I am trying to find is a source of the ceiling to match my original, which looks to be either ~1/4" teak or plywood with V-grooves routed in on a 1 7/8" centers. The grooves run longitudinally and I need a piece about 12 inches high and 24 inches long with the grooves running along the 24" direction. As far as I can tell without cutting out a piece, this ceiling is screwed into stringers (behind the 'ceiling') that appear to run longitudinally at the top and bottom of the ceiling, which on my boat runs under the V-berth cubby storage cabinets down to the fiberglass beneath the V-berth cushion. The screws are covered by bungs. I don't know if C&C manufactured this ceiling material in house or had a source for it. I do think a lot of their boats had this 'ceiling' on the inside of their hulls. I would appreciate any leads on where I might find some of this 'ceiling' with the grooves already cut. Alternatively, I may have to take a replacement piece of wood to a local woodshed and have grooves routed in it or buy a router and some appropriate wood and have at it myself. Thanks in advance for any further help--as well as your terminology lesson!

I am from a family of wooden boatbuilders and we don’t like to use terminology associated with houses on boats but ceiling is defined below from the Glossary of Nautical terms. ceiling Planking attached to the inside of the <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#frame> frames or <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#floor> floors of a wooden hull, usually to separate the cargo from the hull planking itself. The ceiling has different names in different places: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#limber_boards> limber boards, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#spirketting> spirketting, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms#quickwork> quickwork. The lower part of the ceiling is, confusingly to a landsman, what you are standing on at the bottom of the hold of a wooden ship On pleasure boats example Image https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/82612974387656165/ Tried to include some pictures but they wouldn’t go through on this website.
