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? ...........

PS: Sorry go clog the NG with a boat related post, but there seems to be
a 12.5% category of boat posts here ............ ;-)

Boat related - sheesh.
I use exterior fir plywood. same wood and glue as marine ply but fewer
layer, only 1 finish side and maybe a few gaps in the core. 1/2 the price of
marine ply.
Thanks for the on topic post.
