You may recall some unflattering things I have had to say about Stainless
screws being used to fasten wooden boats together. To put a fine edge on
the argument; I think it is folly to use even a high quality marine
stainless screw below the waterline on a boat to be used in salt water.
Fresh water, maybe. Salt, never! And this assumes that the fresh water is
in fact, pretty pure stuff, not contaminated with lots of chemical ions.

WOW,
Wait till all ( we are talking THOUSANDS of boats) of the commercial
shrimpers, fishermen and oystermen along the Gulf of Mexico coast with their
wood boats from new to 60 yrs + old , learn that they are in such danger. How
these boats have held together for so long is amazing, due to the use of SS
screws in the original construction and refastening..
There are hundreds upon hundreds of these boats that are in the 55 to 80 ft
range. so we are not talking abt trailerable skiffs.
