: How are the Vikings compared to the Becksons (quality and
: weight-wise)? The plastic looks very dull (like the Bomars).

I built a hatch with a flange on one side and a compression latch on the other, and it works well, but I am displeased with the performance of my beckson screw-in. I want something easy to put in/take out that is waterproof. Quality's an issue, but that's based on the price of the Vikings.

I don't care about the sheen. If I were that fussy about it there are other solutions.
