I'm going to be decking in my boat this winter and upgrading my electronics on it. I was wondering if 1/2 inch marine plywood will be good and save some weight or just go with 3/4 inch.
Thanks for the help and any other advice.

I used a combo when I made my decking. Obviously I supported the 1/2" a lot more, but knock on wood, so far its been good for me and I can't say I notice a huge difference between that and the 3/4"

Marine plywood is expensive! Pressure treated plywood has chemicals that can eat into aluminum. If fiberglass ignore that. Im not a expert!
Pre drill holes on the new plywood. Seal and coat! Best grade hardwood plywood! Marine grade uses different glue. From what ive been learning. Please advise if wrong advice.

Clint is right do not use pressure treated , Marine grade plywood is the same as exterior glue A/B grade plywood basically the only difference is Marine grade has no voids between the laminates . I would stick with premium exterior glue plywood A/B grade and you will be fine. Seal or paint all cut ends .
