Default Is it worth it?

I am going to go through my Lund, and put a triangular wood deck on the
front, and at various locations throughout the boat. More for the Chris
Craft look than functional. I presently have a sheet of off the rack 3/4"
plywood that would do all of these. I would stain, and seal with
McClosky's.

Will the 3/4" standard grade AB plywood last? Or should I go to marine
grade? I even thought of playing with it, and buying cedar and going for
the On Golden Pond look, which I must admit is tempting, as cedar is not
expensive, looks great and weathers better than plywood.

Suggestions? ...........

You can get pressure treated 3/4" CDX plywood as an alternative. Marine
ply is big bucks and ABX has exterior glue for limited exterior exposure.

If it's going to be exposed, you might want to look into some epoxy
coatings.
