Recommended Material for new seat/hatches?

I'm planning on replacing the wooden seats on my Sabre with fiberglass. I've done enough glass work to know that it's hard to get the true 90 deg bends I need (without a vacuum bag) by laminating over marine plywood.
Does anyone know of a suitable material that comes in 1/4" thick sheets that can be epoxied, machined and painted? I originally looked at using G10, since I've worked with it before, but it's way to expensive.
Any thoughts?

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
