I have a W.I.P of a redo on an older Defever 48. I have owned several DF44 and After the last one was built in Taiwan 1990/1991 most of the newer boats coming out of China had Aluminium looking coverage (some called it pegboard), as shown in the attached picture.

I am trying to find the source for this (I don't think the Soundown material is the same).

I am interested to learn more...

Thanks

Don't have a source. But wanted to add, that type of material is for reduction sound reflections, plus it's easy to wipe clean in a greasy engine room. Appearance also.

However, it does pretty much absolutely nothing to reduce noise levels. So you may consider either removing or covering it with real sound absorption, like Sundown or similar.
