Wayne, you do have point.
Instead of taking a hit trading in a 2 year old boat, I already have the primer, official can of the factory paint and just picked up the Makita Gold impact bits rated as much stronger than the ordinary bits I broke last fall with my hand rachting screwdriver.
Maybe with my half inch corded drill/driver, I can get most of the snaps off without drilling out the ss screw heads.
Thenthe only worry might be what's going on in the bilge if sal****er gets in there.
I do stick the garden hose in and flush, and crank the tongue jack up to drain off.

Another tool you might consider is a hand impact tool and/or a set of
small left handed drill bits. Once you booger up the cross point screw
head your only recourse is drilling or grinding the screw flush.
The alternative is to take the Harry route and let the pros do it.
