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.
