Marine grade plywood specifications actually limit the number of voids and faults allowed, and specify the actual thickness of each ply, etc. Depending on what you are doing, and how you are sealing the wood, exterior grade may work just fine. However, if I were buidling a boat of any significant size or upgrading the interior of a bluewater cruising boat, I would use marine plywood, as the bulkheads in many boats are structural elements, and skimping on the materials strikes me as a bit foolish when it may save your life later on.

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.
