Marine plywood weights significantly less. The two boats I built I treated with a product called C.P.E.S. " clear penetrating epoxy sealant from rotdoctor.com" makes the wood almost plastic like and super hard. Hard to staple fiberglass down. But the boats turned out as desired and I'm sure there going to have a good floor for over 20 years. But as green treated construction plywood its softer/ more flexible, wet, fiberglass won't bond with it. Heavy.

We did replace some stringers with foundation grade but that's when we learned that it isn't ideal. Good luck and have fun with it.
