I need to replace part of my boat deck. I'd like to put pressure treated plywood with fiberglass over. How do I do the fiberglass portion? What materials? Any advice?

As stated above pressure treated wood is not good for glassing over. You can get marine grade plywood and glass over that. You can get fiberglass mat and resin with hardener from a marine supply store or even an automotive store. After you fit the plywood and allow for the addition of the fiberglass,, saturate the wood with resin and then apply the glass. Then saturate the glass and let dry. You can roll on the resin or brush it on, make sure you get the edges of the plywood. After it drys do the other side, then paint as desired with a marine grade paint.

Fiberglass work is dusty from the sanding process and is not good for you to breathe, plus all the stuff to buy and multiple coats you will need to apply. Too much work and you may not be happy with the results. Just replace the wood with marine grade sheets of 1/2" or thicker plywood covered with some good quality indoor/outdoor carpeting. That is what I would do.
