Default Marine grade? or salt-treated plywood?

I was wondering abotu using salt-treated plywood on the Marquis deck.
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!


Does the composite stuff come in sheets, or were you going to use boards, like
this: http://tinyurl.com/29auaun

I'm thinking of resurfacing my deck with that stuff. Expensive stuff though.

It's durable but heavy, like Wayne said.
