In building boats, it's a real pain to have water enter and follow a void in the plywood to an area where it appears as an untraceable leak leak. Marine plywood is essentially free of void spaces. It is not even close to aircraft plywood in quality or performance.
But, at least it's cheap.

I was reading in an airplane magazine like I said that article. If you look at the website correctly you will see it says "Marine/Exterior Plywood" If im not mistaken but what other EAA members have told me, marine plywood will work just as good as avaition plywood. It is inspected and will not come apart with water, two things we need in our plywood.
