I was thinking of getting some stainless tube and making my own.
These on Ebay
(
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25-OD25mm-...item5d35f253c7 )
are stainless. Don't know how good but at that price, easy to replace, even each season!
They have sizes up to 89mm. Admittedly they are in China, but worth a punt?
Then again, wonder if these would be better
FLADEN METAL BOAT ROD HOLDER GAME SEA FISHING UPTIDE TACKLE RAIL MOUNT ROD TUBE | eBay
or this looks better, but in USA
Rail Mount 304 Stainless Steel Rod Holder with Plastic Liner for Boats | eBay
Looking better still, with plastic insert
Vertical Rail Mount 304 Stainless Steel Rod Holder with Plastic Liner for Boats | eBay
And, just to be silly, how's about a gold plated one?

Just shows how the Yanks get all the best gear. Postage makes these things damned expensive. Anyone got a RIB big enough to get across the pond and bring a containeer of goodies back??
