1996 Chase 263 Rocket Launcher Question

[loafer-roatan]

Group:
I'd like to buy some cup holders and accessory holders for my 1996 Chase 263 to be installed behind the seat on the aluminum pipe between the rod holders. I found a good manufacturer (http://www.cudascustoms.com/products.htm), but I forgot to get the diameter measurements before I left the boat. Does anyone know what the diameter of the tubing is?
Thanks
AE

Was sent a message saying it's 1.5 inches by someone on another forum. Does this sound right?
Thanks in Advance

You know, that "sounds" about right - since tubing like that is usually slightly smaller than the 2" tubing used on the main components. But I think you're not getting any answers because the answer needs to be very specific. While similar models may use the same size tubing, I'm sure people are hesitant to respond unless they have the exact same model as you, and also for fear of not getting the measurement exactly correct. Might also not be at their boat or forgot when they got there. Now, this is not a knock on anyone, but on something like this you would want to be darn sure you got the right measurement - so be careful if you base your purchase solely on the recommendation of "someone on the internet", unless of course you know them well enough to trust them.

Did you try contacting Grady? Another thought, if you can't get to the boat yourself, is there somewhere near the boat that can measure for you? May even just pay someone at the marina a few bucks to do it?
