Personally I like the roller style of guide-ons like the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610. The roller style is a bit more forgiving if contact is made because they roll along with the boat instead of just being a blunt stationary force that is correcting. They have black rubber rollers and end caps to help protect your boats finish.
The CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 fit trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall and the mounting hardware is included. If you have a larger frame, you can use the CE Smith Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416 to fit frames up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall.
Given the length of your boat, you would be better off getting 2 sets of the CE Smith Roller-Style Guide-Ons # CE27610 so that you can have a guide-on towards the front and back of the trailer.
