Default Houseboat renovation

I have a 1984 Somerset 14 X 48 houseboat, the ceiling is damaged from a previous leak, the ceiling is sheets of a material like ceiling tiles, does anyone have any suggestions about a product to use as a replacement, the sheets would need to be about 12' long..........

Yes, the roof is fiberglass but the ceiling is like a pressboard type material that comes apart when it gets wet.

it's probably a celotex material, it's made out of recycled pressed paper. was very popular in the 70-80's, very much like accoustical tile, but made in large sheets.
