Hypalon

Anyone know any companies in the states that build hypalon RIB collars? Ive been trying to source companies that build tubes for RIBs etc, and actually sell to the public so to speak.
Or any places i can purchase Hypalon at a sensible price, not trippled hobby price. I can find it for stupid amounts of money in small quantities for the hobbiest. although im not sure what hobby uses hypalon, but still, but cant seem to find anyone who sells it in large quantities.
I am in TN, so as close to there as possible would be ideal. Dont really want to travel to the west coast or anything. Florida, etc is more ideal.

Hope someone can help. ive used RIBeye in the UK, but obviously getting them sent over here is not financially viable, so would like to find someone over here.

Thanks

Thanks
Canyon voyages deal in small quantities for repairs etc, im needing much larger amounts.

OWFINC arnt to badly priced and offer the quantities i want, however, only do it in black or dark green, which isnt the best choice of colours for a boat. but thats a start, thanks
