Default Marine grade? or salt-treated plywood?

I'm not a feared of paying for marine grade, but Jimmy the carpenter
told me that the newer salt treated woods are about as worthy as
marine grade at a fraction of the cost. So, what's the opinion?

I'm even wondering abotu using hybrid decking like you'd use on a
porch. synthetic mylar etc mixed with wood. The stuff is weather
resistant as all get out!



And slippery as hell. Are you going to carpet over it? Starboard isn't
cheap but it's another option if you are using carpet.
