I also live in Florida, and have worked on salt water motors for a living for over 20 years. Your idea is creative, but I must say "lotsa-luck". The best tool you can invest in is an oxy-acetylene torch. Many/most screws will come out if you get the surrounding aluminum hot enough. A propane torch just cant do it. And then there are the ones that bust anyway. You might as well start developing your skills at drilling them out and installing Heli-coils. Only learned by doing and messing up on a ton of them. I still mess up from time to time.
