You could try Downes & Reader in Stoughton MA too. I think they have some marine plywood even though they specicalize in hardwoods. I think they have a website too and I know Boulter has a website.

What size? How many? Fir? or Okume?
I can get pricing from Atlantic Plywood, my wholesaler in Providence.
What did you have in mind for a decent price? I don't know how much marine ply they sell but I got the ply for my garvey from them and the Okume 1/4" was about 50 bucks or so.
I'm sure you can get 1/2" to 3/4" marine fir from Downes and Reader but it might cost ya a bit, but probably better than Boulter Ply in Sommerville.

I see my dad with Atlantic Plywood pencils all the time, so I would start there. His shop was making interior panels for one of the Portsmouth boat builders, what do you need I may be able to get a deal on leftovers.

Downes and Reader has 1/2" marine ply in stock. I paid $65 per sheet about 3 weeks ago. I wouldn't use AC ply from your local home center on a boat project, as it is garbage imo. Plywood has gone way down hill since the Iran shipment. If you think about the labor involved to install those sheets of ply on a boat it isn't worth saving a few bucks on cheap plywood.

I agree , get the marine grade. the work is 90 percent of the job , a little extra for the material is not bad. There's a big hardware/marine supply store on narragansett ave on Jamestown. they might have some.
