Interestingly I was doing inventory in my shed yesterday and ‘found’ a 2’ X 3’ sheet of 1/2” Starboard that I bought for some projects years ago. Personally, I would not use Starboard for battery support. Too soft and bendy. And even I would balk at the price.
I just used regular good quality plywood painted white when I redid <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/2014/02/starting-battery-locker-redesign.html> the battery support inside the cabin. The factory plywood base for the two house batteries in the starboard cockpit locker is 34-years old and holding up just fine. I use those cheap black plastic battery boxes to contain anything that might leak out.
