I picked up some Lee 1-3/8" outriggers over the weekend. Unfortunately, my boat has 1-1/4" tunnel mounts. I cannot find anywhere that has 1-3/8" bases or the 45° rod ends. I emailed Lee's and they pretty much said I'm out of luck. Anyone know where to find these? Thanks, Chris.

I thought they went 1 1/4, 1 5/8, 1 3/4, then 2.

Lee's used to make a 1-3/8" set of screw together 18' poles. According to the email they sent me, they discontinued them a couple years back. They still make 1-3/8" center riggers though.

Could a pipe guy or welder make you a converter adapter 1 1/4" to 1 3/8"?

Ya know, that's what I'm leaning toward. My cousin works at a steel company. He can get me some 1.25 OD and 1.375 ID steel tubing. I can just weld them together and my brother has a hydraulic pipe bender. I'm pretty good with making steel things and making them look good. Might be my only way out.
