If anyone is curious I just updated my website with stuff about making the interior of my Zodiac.  I used Confor Foam from Hitech Foams and Leather.  You'll see they don't look professional, but I've got one more thing checked off the todo list!  You can see the details and some lessons learned at my website, http://daniel.dempseyfamily.us

Turned out really nice, Dan.  



I'm thinking of picking up some of that foam at Oshkosh and doing something similar.

Looks fine to me. I am also thinking of this. It is encouraging that you took a stab at it and it turned out pretty nice. I wish Zenith would address this on 701s. Some one at Zenith has to have a family member who can sew upholstery, it would be a great side job for them.

Also,

Lori is the one that makes the canopy covers for the 601. I am wondering if she has thought about making them for the 701 as well.

Zenith makes canopy covers for 701. They are in the plans. I think they call them wings.
