I ordered some 2" ID fiberglass pipe from this website and glassed them in from my cockpit gutters out the transom. very strong, fast shipping, and cheap. Not even my camphor trees can clog them up.
Attached are a couple pics before glassing them in.

I did almost the exact same thing on my 79 Sceptre.
Worked great.
Been three years and no signs of flexing or cracking.
I used
West System G-Flex epoxy which is a little more flexible than straight up West System and I used 1/8 inch wall 1.5" prefab structural fiberglass tubing from mcmaster carr.

5 foot chunk, 26 bucks. Hard as nails.
1.5" ID works fine. 2" ID I guess would be better, but for my use and with my slightly raised deck, the 1.5 does the job.
Covered them with these:
T-H Marine rectangular scupper.
