Trailer Guild Pole Covers

My best friend who I grew up with calls my boat “perfect.” I would rather call it my “Z.”  I had a ’69 Z-28 back when I was in my early twenties. It was not my daily driving vehicle. Usually sat parked in the driveway. It was stolen one night when I was out on a date.  Long story short, it was meant to happen. I know I’ll never get another car like that Camaro. For me, a boat is the way to go to control your expenses. I know I sunk a lot of money and labor into that car versus this Nautique.

My originals were 36 inches long. The new ones I made are 48 inches. Plus, the originals are only 3.5 inches in diameter and that is the size I made them, not the 4-inch diameter as your black ones are I believe. My guild poles do not have a cap on top for there’s no need for them because there is a drain hole at the bottom where it bolts to the trailer frame.  And I like the poles that are close to the boat. Helps in loading the boat up. I also made some pads for the fenders to keep from getting the gelcoat stretch up on those cross windy days. Made mine from the extra carpet that was left over from doing the boat and trailer and used treated plywood. And yes, they will move up and down when pull off and load your boat into the water. Not much can be done to that unless something is designed to keep that from happening, They will rotate around when loading the boat back on the trailer so don’t think about attaching them some way to the poles.

I’m willing to share the artwork of the lettering to anybody who would like a copy.  Just remember it is set up for a 3.5 inch diameter but you can adjust it if needed. Just PM me and I’ll send a copy.
