BTW, I wouldn't worry too much about whit3rd's comment on long
screws. Long screws are used all over the place in boatbuilding
without issues.

Yeah, but... how many drying-out cycles does a boat get?

Depends on what size it is. A small boat, like my dinghy, is
likely to get pulled out of the water frequently. But it's
still likely to have long screws for parts like the skeg.
