Red Cedar Lumber Grades for strip building?

I'm getting ready to call my local lumber yards and specialty wood suppliers to get an idea of what's available for a project. I would like to be able to "talk the talk" with the person on the other end of the phone. What's the very minimum grade for boat quality red cedar? Do they grade by 1st's & 2nd's, select? I've seen this info somewhere before, but I'll be damned if I can remember where.

Thanks in advance,

BobH
