Cut the patterns, drilled & countersinked screw holes, then treated with a couple coats of epoxy and one coat of one part epoxy paint with grit.  The plywood delaminated before I could get it in the boat. Long story short, I would not recommend post covid quality marine plywood. It had voids and internal delaminations out of the factory. Some people claim success with exterior grade plywood, a few coats of deck sealer and vinyl, carpet  or paint.  Personally, I’m back to aluminum. It’s cheaper in the long run and I don’t like doing the same job twice.</blockquote>
