I sold my 48 DA and have (2) 4x8 Sheets of the original light cherry wood laminate. When I bought the boat back in 2012 I was able to source the original that was provided to Searay. I had anticipated that the laminate would fail but it never did so that is why I have it available. Asking $ 350 for both sheets plus shipping.

Is that the high gloss laminate?
 
Is this the same color they used in 2008? I am only aware of one cherry they used

Sea Ray used a gloss dark cherry and gloss light cherry both sourced from Lignapal in Norway for those model years. Neither finish is commercially available so the OP has some rare material on his hands. :)

Yes, that is a high gloss light cherry Lignapal. In fact searay sent me direct to Ultra wood whom provided the product to them. I believe they used this material from 2006 through 2011. Our 48DA was offered in dark or light cherry. Picture is light cherry and exact match.
 
I had a sample sent to me that was supposed to be an exact match to what I had. When it did not match, Restoration Marine emailed me "Sea Ray used four different cherry finishes." Never did find a good match. I suggest getting a sample.

Different model years and different suppliers. Vitricor supplied laminate from the mid-90s to early 2003. Four different cherry finishes and a more than a few off cherry finishes near the end of the production run before they slid into insolvency. 2004 still had a few models produced with some left over Vitricor material but that is when Lignapal made its debut in two custom SR finishes (Light and Dark Cherry).

It was the first time that SR attempted to use a real wood laminate on their boats. Lignapal was used successfully in kitchens and offices throughout Europe. Unfortunately, the marine environment is much tougher than most land based environments. Their relationship with SR ended in 2009. Lignapal laminate was sold through Ultrawood in the US. Ultrawood shut down operations last year and the material is NLA.

If you have Rocket's finish. It is a good insurance policy to have that material.

I’m pretty certain Sea Ray started using the high gloss finish in 2007. I’ve owned four 2006 Sea Ray’s (40DA, 44DB, 52DB and 58DB) and I don’t recall the high gloss being an option. In any event I’ve got the satin finish cherry not high gloss so unfortunately this doesn’t work for me. Wish it had as you’re local.
 
I got to the boat today and confirmed we have the dark cherry... damn... I really wanted a couple sheets..We have all defects repaired currently but have no more material if there are any further issues.

Boat hasn't shown any other signs of it but this stuff is hard to find.

350 for two sheets is a killer deal. good luck

Rocket, whats next? new boat? new adventure?
 
I might be interested... I think mine is light cherry, let me get some pics tomorrow during the survey.
