Hi folks,
Just thought I'd share my home-made guide post design, and solicit any comments or improvement suggestions...
It is made from 1" x 1" angle steel, galvanized hardware, and 1 1/4" PVC. I am going to mount the lights up on them too, but haven't gotten to that stage yet. I have it all assembled, and am going to break it all down for primer and paint. I have a painted trailer, so I didn't go galvanized with the angle steel, and on a tight budget too. I have about $35 in it.
They look wide for the boat, but my hull is narrower at the stern than amidships, so it is actually only about a half-inch clearance at that point.
