Buckeye, the big difference is the type of glue used to hold the plys together. Marine plywood is the only way to go. I tried it the other way before I knew better. Some of the treated has Phormaldahyde. I don't know if I spelled it correctly. Take your time you can do it successfully.

Plywood marked "Marine Grade" and "Exterior Grade" or "Ext" are both made with waterproof glue. Treated, I don't know too much about. If not graded as exterior? Marine grade must also be made with no voids in the interior plies, and no knotholes on the veneer. Or is it no unfilled knotholes? Anyway that's what makes it so expensive and hard to find.
