Underneath I see ply. The layered composition of the table is easily seen at the edges where the flip up/drop down ends of the table attach to the main section. Considering mine is 34 years old it looks in good condition. Hope we resolved this.Looks like Laminate to me too.What does the underside of the table look like? Plywood or particle board?
BTW, just to throw a bit of fuel on the fire, I have been a boaty most of my life and the only Trawlers I knew of had catch nets. Boats like ours were called displacement cruisers, flybridge cruisers or in Queensland, Bay Cruisers.

The generic is "powerboat" or "cruiser". Less kind generic is "stinkboat", as used by "rag and stick" aficionados. "Trawler" is gaining usage, with a little encouragement.Is the term "trawler" used in Australia to refer to pleasure boats with a certain look.

I agree Formica is some tough stuff and it's perfect for counter tops . I use it wherever it makes sense . It's been around a long time .I like real wood, but not on a meal prep surface. A table is ok, a counter top is ok, but not where I cook. I like stainless sinks and plastic prep surfaces. I use a lot of bleach "when" I clean, which is not often enough, and hate using it on my laboriously contrived "real" wood surfaces. Formica is king.
Marty,
From my experience, trawlers over here are working fishing boats and the pleasure boat style that we all own, as I said, are known as displacement cruisers etc. My wife refuses to call it a trawler as she reckons it doesn`t smell of fish, have nets, cranes or crew that smoke, drink and use bad language (I don`t smoke at least)
cheers
Grand Banks of a certain age use it. On the dashboard, some doors etc.
