I kinda like and don't like the tupperware lid idea...or rather at least how proboat has implemented it in the few boats I have saw. In both the Shockwave and the Widowmaker you have the tupperware lid then a hatch that is BARELY secured by a magnet. To me if they would have had the lid, then a hatch that had some sort of positive locking like the SV27 hatch it would have been a much better design. The magnets on those hatches are marginal at best and I've saw too many tupperware containers pop open in my lunch pail to trust it. On my WM I taped the tupperware and the hatch to be safe as I had the hatch come off once, but luckily the lid was taped.
I also think, at least in those applications, a hatch that puts a small bit of pressure on a few points of the lid would be a good plan too. Might be overkill with latches and all of that, but to me I'd rather be safe than sorry.
