I was looking for something else and stumbled on this site.
I've included a few questions and answers also.
Comments or thoughts about it?

Choose between 8' and 8-1/2' long CCA treated marine grade plywood.

This CCA treated marine grade plywood has a B face and C bottom. The top is sanded smooth but may have small knots and the bottom will have unfilled voids. This does not affect the durability of the plywood, it just may not look as nice as you expect. These superficial blemishes will not affect the lifetime warranty on the plywood, it will be covered by carpet.

CCA treated plywood does not need to be coated or treated before installation and has 7 plys that have been pressed and glued together then kiln dried, it will not warp or rot.

This plywood is distributed through Huttig Corporation and is the same plywood used on all 2014 Bennington and South Bay pontoon boats.

Q - Pressure treated plywood can react negatively with aluminum cross braces found on toons. Is the CCA treated plywood you sell safe to be in contact with aluminum without fear of corrosion?
A - Yes, there will not be any worry using this CCA treated plywood with the Aluminum cross members.

Q - Is the glue used between the layers waterproof and I'm just confirming that the bottom (that faces the water) does not have to be sealed.
A - Nope, nothing on the plywood will need to be sealed with anything. Ready to use, right away.

Q - What kind of wood is used to create this plywood?
A - We use Douglas Fir for the plywood.

If you have the money, that's the best stuff to use for aluminum boats. CCA treated is what aluminum boat manufacturers use. It's hard to find for the average Joe due to the EPA ban on it, but some sporting goods stores sell it, or can order it in. You would be very lucky to stumble across it in a good lumber yard, certainly not in a big-box hardware store.

Considering the cost and labor needed to seal untreated plywood (so it doesn't rot) the $100/sheet is appealing to some.

Ya, knowing that the CCA isn't too bad gives me a bit of comfort, as that is what I used years ago, just not marine, it definitely had a lot of voids in it.

Check out the Homestead Hardwoods website. They are here in northwest OH near Sandusky and have great wood and exceptional prices. They have scraps, will cut panels, plane to special thicknesses, have white oak, mahogany, walnut,etc. I have done small jobs with their products for some time.
