You could just paint the SS screws green - that's what they will be shortly. Or you could get some SS screws titanium oxide plated in a brass color.

But seriously, it looks pretty good to me.

Ha! And I thought no one would notice. The old boards were on with stainless. I started to go with brass but I couldn't find the right size brass screws locally (2 1/4" #8). However, they had stainless with the finishing washers so I went with them. There really isn't any brass on the exterior of the boat so I thought it would be ok. Now that they are installed I don't particularly like it so I have ordered the correct brass screws and washers and am going to go back and replace. At this point the holes are bare, no caulk or bedding so I need to back them out anyway. Will replace when I do so.

Would silicon bronze screws better than brass (meaning duration and corrosion resistance)?

I would think that bronze would be better yes. Just not sure how far I need to go corrosion wise.
