what's the difference between 'regular' and 'marine-grade' plywood? Do they sell the latter at Lowes?

Marine grade is a superior grade to "Treated" plywood which is rated for water exposure or direct earth contact. Marine ply is rated for water imersion AND it has NO voids in the plywood layers. This increases it's strength in boat building applications and decreases the possibility of water penetration. I don't believe Lowe's carrys it as a stock item. I suspect it is special order only. Prepare yourself, it's not cheap!
