My experience with using thin plywood of any type that is exposed to the elements without a layer or two of fiberglass over it is that it will eventually crack. Once it cracks it is no longer as aerodynamic and it starts to absorb water and rots. It doesn't matter if the coating is epoxy, polyurethane, or whatever; without any reinforcing fibers across the top wood grain it will crack.
