Find a local plastic shop and see about getting a sheet of HDPE or umhw.
That or aluminum.
If it's not needed to hold anything up structurally then I'd also consider using the plastic/fiberglass paneling used in shower surrounds, from the hardware store. It would be more prone to cracking but it's cheap and easily accessible.
Excellent suggestion!

Awesome. Gonna try to get my hands on some of this stuff. Is it easy enough to cut with a handsaw? I'm assuming the rounded corners are a luxury and a square cut will suffice just fine? Thinking I'll just want to sand down the sharp edges a bit, yes? And how about the old screw holes? Should I fill with marine epoxy and just make new holes? I hate the idea of making new holes but I'm thinking it needs to be done. I assume the underbelly is not as big of a deal as the roof where lap sealant is needed to assure no leaks, correct? I can just screw the new piece on and be done with it? Or do I need to seal it up in some way?
Sorry so many questions.. Just want to make sure I am doing this right the first time.
