what is it costing these days?
i am going to build a front deck for my jon boat next week and need a 4'x4' sheet of treated plywood. does anyone know roughly what this will cost me?

save your money get the exterior grade plywood...

epoxy won't stick to pressure treated...

Zook works in these matters and knows, but I have heard treated lumber contains chemicals that react badly with aluminum.

I have used regular plywood and coated the top with fiberglass. Its ok looking, very sturdy, should last a few years as water beads on the top when it rains.

They do sell fiberglass sheets now, you can look at them but I think they are a bit thin without something else to support it. It would look awesome if done right though.
