I haven't, honestly the time involved, and the material cost I don't think anyone would be terribly interested, this was more of a labor of love, special install for the wife.

I bought all of the fiberglass supplies at West Marine, probably not the most cost effective place to get it. I used Epoxy resin as well which drove the cost up significantly. Material cost was around $275-$300 or so, and I invested several days of time in it.

Mass producing off of a mold would be cheaper and faster, could use polyester resin instead but I would still estimate an end user cost of over $350. I doubt anyone would pay that.
