I thought about going to larger brass tubes when I replaced the originals on my Tsunami,but I was a little scared off by having to enlarge the tube exit hole on the hull where its got that wedge to help suck out the water.
I ended up leaving it the way it was.
I was new to this kind of stuff when I did the resto,but looking back,I wish I had,because the 1" brass tubes are no where near large enough to drain the deck fast enough.
Not sure on flaring the stainless,but if you go with brass,it helps a lot to anneal the brass with a torch before you flare them.Heat the tube red and just let it cool.Flares a lot easier,with no cracks at the edge of the flare. They can split sometimes if you flare them raw.
