However, there should be a stamp in one of the corners stating that it is for marine applications, I would check for that.

I'm perfectly happy using 'Exterior' rated ply as a core in glass/epoxy construction, as long as it is free of voids.
In fact, I've considered using some 'ultralight' plywood designed for boat interiors, for a kayak project.
You have to balance the cost vs risk of problems, and buying better materials is seldom a mistake, I guess.
