Review by Tom Holtey Shop Proprietor: This is a copy of the Valley Canoe Products (VCP) hatch cover, made in USA. It is made to fit onto any kayak that was originally outfitted with a VCP cover and rim. It is Rot Proof. It floats. Serious sea kayakers do not care for the way this product looks or functions. The ONLY reason to purchase this is because of the low cost.
