Boat Buckles

I'm looking at picking some of these up but was wondering if anyone has used them in saltwater?  I can't justify the $100 for the stainless version and was wondering how the regular version holds up assuming I do a good rinse every time.

Well, I had a $20 off coupon and a $20 gift card, so for $40 I'll take the plunge and let you know how they turn out.

What are they?  Forgive my ignorance.
