The 1/4” x 4 mahogany … you mean 1/4” thick, several of them stacked and glued together, to be able to bend and match the shape of the ceiling caused by the crown in the foredeck ?

I “think” with the span of the cabin ceiling(5feet?) that it might flex depending on how thick you make the laminate… I’m sure it would help. I think for that span I would put something on its “end” shape it to fit and glass it in. That will stiffen it up considerable. The problem is that its going to protrude from the ceiling more than your laminate of an inch or two.

The Seavette’s have a bulkhead mid cabin that divide it and provide support for the fordeck. I have pictures of Finsters somewhere ….
