duffer1960 is on a distinguished road
I juste completed a job replacing my rotted cockpit sole with 1/2" marine ply. I highly recommend going with the marine stuff. So that I wouldn't waste the expensive marine plywood, I made all of my original sections out of reqular 1/2 inch plywood untill they fit perfectly. I then traced these onto the marine ply. the one thing that really stood out was STRENGTH! The regular stuff I could bend back and forth with no problem. The marine grade, the same thickness as the regular, was as solid as steel. Also, I think it was 9 layers!
Stick with marine.
