Default PLASTIC floats

Can anyone tell me where I can get injection moulded PLASTIC floats. I once saw a flyer using these for flying on soft powder snow and even over hard icy patches. The plastic floats appeared to be quite rugged for this type of use.

GWS makes some foam floats with molded plastic bottoms. The floats need to be assembled but I used them on a couple of my planes this winter for flying off of a frozen (sometimes snow covered) lake and they worked great.

GeeBee floats are blow-molded. Marketed by Sig. They sound like the ones you describe.
