Trying to find marine grade wood in the southeast

I live in Alabama, near Birmingham, and I'm having trouble finding marine grade plywood for a decent price. So far it has been about $100 a sheet, which is just too much for my budget. Does anyone have any good alternative suggestions? I've read about using pressure treated, but From what I've read that doesn't sound like a good option. The few options I have locally are birch, red oak, and southern yellow pine. I do plan on fiberglassing/epoxy everything if that helps your input. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Thanks Clay. I've already learned a ton. I appreciate you directing me to it. I'll be sure to post a lot of pictures (and probably questions) once I get started.
