I would check the quality of these fasteners! Stainless is expensive, and that price is dirt cheap. If you've ever experienced the frustration of dealing with low quality stainless steel fasteners, you know what I mean.
Their threads have a rough finish, so when you tighten them together, the threads gall. They will not come back apart. So you have to cut them off. Which isn't always very easy to do, because it's tough stuff and grinds and cuts real hot.
When I want to do stainless fasteners, I shop it the old fashioned way. Every nut and bolt, matched up one at a time, at the hardware store. Quality hardware store, that is. Cheap is cheap, you get what you pay for.
Just a little advice from someone who's been in the boating business a while. There's nothing worse than cheap stainless nuts and bolts, it will ruin a project.
