Ah, for a perfect world.
Sadly, SS is ten times or more resistive than copper - so to get a length of cable with the same current carrying characterics you would need to increase the CSA dramatically.

The only common ductile metal with better conductivity than copper is silver ..... now fancy that - a boat with silver wiring! (mind you, the corrosion would be something of a problem)
