Default Replacing Wood Deck

So I am assuming that you are saying that Marine grade plywood is the way to
go... What about the rest of the job? As far as finishing the deck?

And I agree if it is an issue where I would be replacing the deck again in 2
years then I will spend the extra ~$200 and get marine grade. So far that
hasn't been proven to me, given that I would encapsulate the entire deck
(top, bottom and sides) both woods should have the same strength and last
about the same... Right? I know marine grade lays their layers at a 45 deg
angle where as A/B lays at 90 degrees, but the glues are both the same and
the voids are minimial in either.

I'm open, if you think I am missing something please provide some details.

Thanks!
Mark.

===========================

Exactly, and compared to the value of your time and effort, the very
best (and correct) materials don't cost that much more. Why turn your
project into a durability experiment?
