I recently had the same issue on a boat that I recently bought. Cheap stainless self tapping screws and even a couple of zinc plated screws holding the front seat pedestals. Like LDUBS said, an impact wrench works well for removal.  It got everything but the two zinc screws. They required penetrating oil, plenty of hammer taps and finally a small pipe wrench to remove.  Of course the deck had to come off to get the pipe wrench on them.Use plenty of patience and they will eventually surrender.</blockquote>
