Correct hardware for installing new floor planking?

[Chevyls6]

I'm currently putting new plywood floors in a 74 strarcraft aluminum V hull. The factory used long pop rivets to fasten the planks to the stringers.

Would it pose a problem to use stainless steel sheet metal screws in place of the rivets? I can get either one but screws would be a lot easier to install.

deleted post because i didn't see type of boat not a pro with aluminum boats but i thought ss and aluminum was a chance for corrosion maybe you could use aluminum screws?

Ayuh,..... The screws will loosen in time, the rivets won't,.....

stainless screws, moisture and aluminum means galvanic corrosion

aluminum rivets are recommended on an aluminum boat

I ended up getting the aluminum rivets. Worked great
