I have CE Smith 60" ones. Very helpful alone and easy to see when backing trailer. Would recommend putting covers on the guides, the PVC marks up the rub rails but not a big deal. Only complaint is the nuts holding them on work loose and need to be tightened regularly.

Love my guide on's . I bought the three footers at first then decided I wanted longer so went down to Menards and grabbed some pvc and made my own custom length ones( nice and tall). As Colowallo mentioned, it's great when boat is off the trailer at the ramp, in addition to help centering the boat while loading. I also attached some orange reflection tape around the masts for a little extra safety.

bullseye quick loads are awesome I only have the one set and centers perfect every time and they rotate out of the way when trailering or whipping boat down

They make centering the boat much easier. AND... they make loading on a steep, deep ramp much, much easier.

I have had them on every rig I’ve owned. I rarely have to use them to get my boat centered but when the ramp conditions are crap due to current, wind etc., they are worth their weight in gold. A relatively inexpensive accessory as far as boating is concerned in my opinion and will likely save you from being “that guy” at the ramp sometime. Tight lines!

I also have them on multiple boat trailers for the same reasons as Hook_settr posted.
