Formica is just a plasticized coating over paper. It's certainly ok for
a kitchen, but on a boat, I'd want something not paper-backed.
I have been sawing, drilling, sanding, grinding Formica for more than
fifty years and I have never seen a hint of any paper. You must have
another product in mind.

No, he's correct. Formica is simply paper or cloth laminated using
melamine as the binder and topcoat. Melamine is also used as a finish
on very cheap kitchen cabinets and "assemble yourself" furniture.
