[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 305058, member: 6694"] Stainless bolts & nuts are used due to the strength they offer. Aluminum bolts are usually quite weak in comparison. P.S. ... I have not personally had any corrosion issues with using stainless hardware on any of the aluminum boats I have had. I will add a condition on that statement though...I don't leave my boats in salt water for extended periods of time. [/QUOTE]
