I recall see some similar type product in mail order catalogues like
Wyoming River Traders or a name like that.  I am certain there are some
around.  I have seen them in catalogues for use on canoes.

I will just have to search through all my old catalogues to see what I
can come up with.  Mind you, the SeaWings, are really well made and
decently designed to serve their function.  I believe that Voyageur,
which makes them for Tim, is contractually limited to how they can
provide them to the public, i.e. it is Tim's patent.
