[QUOTE="beetlespin, post: 297158, member: 931"] I used SS rivets for a floor kit in my Grizzly 1860 and have have no issues yet but I do not use my boat in salt water a whole lot. Aluminum rivets weren't strong enough and I kept on popping them so I needed to use SS. I have had the boat for six years. I would imagine if you left the boat in the salt water all the time you may get some corrosion over time. SS rivets are way harder to do the the lighter aluminum ones if you are doing these by hand.
