Hey Lewis, the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27620 would be what you'd want as these are galvanized as well just like your trailer so it will do a better job fighting corrosion than a raw steel. These are also 40 inches tall too so they will be tall enough and sturdy enough to do a great job with your Sea Doo pontoon! Is where you launch pretty calm water?

@LewisD We have taller options like the 60 inch part # CE27640 but I would say it comes down to how far the trailer gets submerged when launching. The Sea Doo pontoons aren't super long so I could see 40 inches being plenty tall but you might measure up 40 inches from the frame and see if you think that would be above water significantly enough.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
