am having a very hard time finding exterior and/or marine plywood here in Kenya.
now I am in contact with a boat supply company who said they have a shipment of marine grade ply coming in. Me was happy!
but now they gave the specs and am not so sure anymore;

"Hi - the wood is:

Chinese plywood BB/CC red hardwood faced plywood Eucalyptus core exterior glue E1 hardwood plywood
Brown Phenolic film faced hardwood plywood (non slip mesh) edge sealed WBP glue
I will send you prices once cleared and I have costs"

my question; do you guys think i could use these ply for the framing (gussets and lamination bottom members) and/or planking?

have no clue on plywood specs etc. so any advice is welcome!

I'm no expert, but from what I've read, it sounds like BB/CC allows defects on one face (the CC side). I'd be concerned about there also being defects on the inner plys that could cause weak points when you're bending the planking.

Here's some reference info:
