Marine ply for hull

I am planning on building the CL Millcreek and was thinking I might try to use 1/4" marine plywood for the hull. I was wondering if I could get by without glassing and therefore would only epoxy and paint the hull. I live on a coastal area that is marsh and no rocks (plenty of oysters though). I would appreciate any thoughts or experiences that would help me determine if this is a good idea.

Thanks Bailey--
