You have another thread with the same questions. The answer is always: depends on the design. At the very least post a set of lines of the canoe you plan to build.

Yaasaay, you can't design a canoe. This isn't a personal dig at you, but just an observation of your previous questions, interests and general knowledge.

The only plywood to truly consider for a canoe is Okoume. The reason is simple, weight, which is a huge design consideration, especially with a canoe or any small craft. If you want to build a canoe, may I suggest the "Quick Canoe" by Michael Storer. You could build it in a weekend or two, the engineering already done for you and the plans will tell you what size and type of plywood to use.
