if you seal normal ply well
if you seal normal ply well it will hold up ok. if you use a resin epoxy or whatever it will be fine. you'll pay alot more for marine ply and you will most likely have to buy a 2400x1200 sheet

Glasscraft
The guys at Glasscraft Boats in Bayswater (9271 5015) will help you out Sam, either with advice, supplies or doing the job. And same as Andy said, they recommend & use sealed out door grade 17mm ply.

Support
Depending on how you set up the support, you can get away with 12 mm exterior ply. Seal it up with exterior estapol and then cover it in waterproof marine carpet. Better than a bought one if you've got the patience to do it properly.

2-3 coats
2-3 coats will be fine. The edges will drink it up so put a bit extra on there.
Are you covering it in marine carpet Sam?

Hi Ya,From what I
Hi Ya,
From what I undersand, outdoor ply is waterproof. Apparently it is used by a lot of granno workers to make up formers for their work. From what I found out a number of years ago, marine grade ply is waterproof and guaranteed to be so. Outdoor ply is waterproof but not guaranteed. Basically the only difference really is the glue used so they can guarantee the marine grade and add an enormous premium to the cost.
Cheers.

Hey Big John, I was reading
Hey Big John, I was reading this post as I am recarpeting my deck. I went into Bunnings chasing this Estapol that you mentioned - an outdoor one that is suitable for Marine. Thing is I don't think it exists anymore. I think Wattyl call all their outdoor paint "Weather Guard" now. Does this sound right to you?
Was the stuff you used quite thick?
All the paint people are telling me to use the Estapol Marine Varnish. But I thought varnish would be too thin? What are your thoughts?

Went through the same
Went through the same exercise a couple a few years back when I was decking my tinnie. Spot on BJ eco ply is the way to go sealed. Marine ply is for aplications where it's saturated most of the time, a deck isn't. Saved a few dollars and it was as good as gold.
Love the West!

Yeah, covering it with carpet.
I already picked up the marine ply @ 70bucks per sheet and carpet @ 40bucks per metre. Not a cheap exercise.

Sam buy structual ply mate
Sam buy structual ply mate it uses the same adhesive but has nots on the out side as the veneer it self is a far lower grade seal it with evadure or polyester resin and flowcoat if you want it to last even longer a light chopstrand mat like 1 layer oif 300 csm would do and flowcoat over the top i am happy to do the glass and flowcoat mate you just pay for materials and cut to shape.
