Be careful. I wanted some proper marine ply a few months ago and went on line to search for a supplier. Most of the people who claimed to be able to supply marine ply were supplying water and boil proof which is not the same thing at all.

If you are going to make a new base then use a product like Penetrol to seal the surfaces. Drill all the holes then brush at least two coats (wet on wet). I then painted the base in black paint as per original. Also it is a good idea to sand any sharp edges around the perimeter. Do not be tempted to use staples either, they are just a lazy and ugly fix.
