If you all get tired of hearing about this just say stop. This is probably it for me though.
Just ran across this sort of accidentally.
From a marine plywood manufacturer website:
They claim the new plywood will destroy carpet on the deck. I did not know that but I will tell you that the backing on my carpet was destroyed as well as the glue (the correct marine carpet glue). Carpet came up real easy. Guess that rules out any hopes of the carpet on bunks providing a barier.

"This is the same boat decking used by new pontoon boat builders. CCA treated marine plywood is the only type of lumber which the EPA still allows to be treated with arsenic (a superior preservative), new laws require standard plywood to be treated in a manner that will destroy marine carpeting and hardware (the use of a copper compound rather than arsenic).
Please note that there are dozens of types of marine plywood, if you are rebuilding a pontoon boat and need 3/4" decking this is the proper marine plywood to use.
We understand the difficulties in finding a source for treated marine plywood with these new EPA rules. We always have it in stock but it must be shipped via semi or picked up. Please contact us for a freight quote".
