The FP 17059 has a stainless steel solid core and a stainless steel folded over armor for each cylinder. Stainless steel will not rust in salt-water/marine environments.
It does not have the "Performance" internal wire ring that is common within the Fel-Pro Performance racing gaskets, such as the #1009 (big-block). That internal wire ring gives the superior combustion sealing assurance with high CRs, as well as combats against any detonation/pre-ignition inside the chamber... which is the #1 cause of burnt out head gaskets at the combustion seal area. The "FP Performance" head gasket also only have a tin-plate solid metal core... no need for SS since the environment will most likely not be salt-water/marine.
I'm a former FP engineer... so, this info should settle your concerns.

Most of use moved away from the 1009 and started using the 17059 because the wire Oring would overhang the Head chamber on heads like Edelbrock and Stealths. I could never understand why FelPro wouldn’t re-engineer the 1009 gasket to address this issue.

Pittsburgh -- I suggest that you (and others) make a direct call into the Federal-Mogul Tech Line and speak your peace about this matter on the 1009 having the bore diameter a little too small... make an issue about it. (For those that don't know, Federal-Mogul bought out Fel-Pro back in 1998... )
