[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 138574, member: 1776"] Thanks ecbob! That makes me feel ALOT better about not spending the cash on marine grade. I made the trip to Menards and bought 3/4 and 1/2 A?X. It had the same number of plies as my marine plywood, was $35 and $25 a sheet respectively, and just looked much better (thus the A rating on one side). And to answer the question I posed before, I cut some old 1/2 ply I had to a square and gave it the '225 pound step test'. If the grain was running parallel to the long side, it flexed ALOT. If the grain was running at a 90 degree T to the long side, it flexed a little, but noticeably not as much as the other way. It really did affect how I'm going to lay the plywood down. Thanks all!
