Hey Ray, thanks for reaching out. Adding guide posts to a center lift pontoon trailer is tough because in a lot of cases the pontoon sits right in the way of where the guide on would need to go. It really depends on your specific boat and trailer setup and whether or not the pontoon drops down as far as the trailer frame. Guide posts like the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27648 can attach above or below the I-beam. Your best bet will be to take a look at your boat and trailer to see if there is clearance under the pontoon to attach a guide. If so, the # CE27648 I mentioned will work great. If not, I'm afraid we don't have a guide option for you.

@Ray All of the post-style guide ons we offer are frame mounted. So you could attach them really anywhere along the frame as long as there is room and the pontoons are not in the way. Take a look next time you are near your trailer. Or if you want to even email me a picture of the boat and trailer I might be able to point out potential mounting locations.
