If it's not too late, i'd discourage using baltic birch ply anywhere near a
boat. For all its other nice properties, it's very intolerant of moisture. It's a toss-up whether it'll delaminate before or after it rots.

Especially Baltic Birch, which is probably Russian. Unlike Finnish Birch, which uses exterior glue, the Russians as well as other Eastern European suppliers use interior glue. As the kids would say, "Bad pizza". Might consider MDO for this application, and yes you also want to encapsulate it.
