Question:

I have a 2008 Sun Tracker 21foot Fishing Barge. I read in application the listed model will adjust to 13inch on each side. I have a differance of 11inch between outside edge of trailer frame and outside edge of pontoon. My question is will the listed model have enough extension to provide a secure support for the guides?

I spoke with my contact at CE Smith and she said that the 13 inch measurement is from the outside edge of the trailer frame. If your 2008 Sun Tracker Fishing Barge extends 11 inches past the outside edge of the trailer's frame on each side, the Post Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers, # CE27620, will still have enough extension to provide a secure support for the guides.

Something else you may want to take a look at would be the Post-Style Guide-Ons for Pontoon Boat Trailers, # CE27670. The guide-ons for pontoons install on the inside of the trailer bunks opposed to the guide-ons for boats which mount to the outside of the bunks. Easily installed on the rear crossmember of the trailer frame, the guide posts extend out of the water to provide a visual target when loading your boat onto the trailer.
