Gary Hunter has been making them for EZ's for
years, 6.5' long and 12" diameter at the largest point. I understand
he's got new molds for slightly bigger pods - 13.5" diameter.

Featherlight also makes them


Thanks for the info Richard, I've sent them emails and hope to find a
design. For something like this, it makes more sense to buy an
off-the- shelf item, than to keep re-inventing the wheel and having to
make a mold for just one unit.
