There's a product called plasticore you may want to look into. As for the glass, everyone seems to be leaning on 1708 these days. 1708 is meant to be used for sheer strength, tabbing,etc. A good strong deck would be mat, roving, mat, repeat for a work deck. Mat for bonding, roving for structure...

I laminated 2 pieces of 3/4 marine ply with epoxy for my rafters, pretty close to your dimensions. Zero flex in my roof. I'm a little late to the party, but maybe it will help someone out. I have glassed over tons of doug fir, but something to keep in mind is tight grain. Any water intrusion...
