I was looking at some glass tube on ebay and may try to glass the whole span with one long tube so that I can get away from the hose and connections. Seems like it is only 18-20" to get out the back from the inside liner
Yes, I think your OK with that thought of a solid drain tube.
I did try that route first, but got nervous about the stress on the tube considering I was altering its circumference strength with adding the rod holder drains to it. Also the flex with the bracket & the motor weight on the transome. The angle also was not right from the gutter config. I wanted the Gemlux Flapper Scuppers which would not work with the solid tube. I hate water in the bilge. You can see what I'm talking about in the picture.
