Just measured it. Mine is also 1.5" thanks!Mine is 1 1/2 inches
As others have done, I bought these, they work great and look fantastic. But if you do get them, make sure you tighten the inside screw that holds the holder to the clamp. You have to do it before you put the clamp on the ski pole. I lost one of them in the lake.

Those holders from Amazon work great. Just tighten all screws good and put some medium strength thread locker on them too. I bought them as flag holders. They are too big for a 1 inch flag pole to fit tightly, but a 1 inch piece of pvc with a 1 inch pvc coupling on top will fit tight in the rod holders and a flag pole fits nicely inside of the 1 inch pvc pipe.
I don't have a close up picture and won't be back to the boat for awhile unfortunately. It is simply a 1 inch pvc coupling glued to a piece of 1 inch pvc pipe that is about an inch shorter than the rod holders length. This allows the pvc pipe and coupling to be pushed down into the rod holder until it is tight. The coupling will be near the top of the rod holder after you finish with the pipe sticking down into the rod holder.could you post a picture of your setup with the pvc?
Do you think I could buy these stainless rod holders and paint them black? Can you spray paint "stainless"? Want to get these to match my black ski bar. Any advice is appreciated!

I do not think there is any way to paint them as they are. You could but it would scratch and chip very quickly, possibly if you sandblasted them first? Maybe there would be a professional way to do it, auto body shop or motorcycle fabricator.Do you think I could buy these stainless rod holders and paint them black? Can you spray paint "stainless"?
