Alas, birch ply is a poor material for boatbuilding.
Birch is not the least bit decay resistant and i've never seen a birch ply

Here in Norway you will get a lott of Birch plywood mad in Finland and
with WBP glue. They also make a Birch plywood threated with phenol film
suitable for use on car trailers etc. An very resistive to water and
damage. And Birch plywood is probably the strongest plywood available.

What goes for the US might not be the what goes for Europe.
