A must for a PoonToon
I bought 2 sets for my 24ft PoonToon . I installed the 1st set towards the front of my trailer and waited to install the 2nd set a few days later. Dont wait install both you will need both of them(or I did) I pull my PoonToon out with the front set installed. They helped.....or sorta helped with both (front and back)installed it makes life so much better especially with any wind involved. They are easy to install. The first set took about 15 min and the same for 2nd set. Make sure your pontoon in on its trailer stright prior to installing.

Makes landing and launching SO much easier!
Bought a set last fall, and they worked like a charm for loading. They actually sit about 2” ABOVE the floor. However, the angle of the trailer on the launch gives me plenty of clearance.Just bought a second set. They were obviously too tall to sit on the middle crossbar, but there is another cross bar that houses the axle. It’s about 10” lower. They fit there, and with the same adjustment for the boat angle at the launch, should work perfectly. I’ll let everyone know.ETA: I have now landed my pontoon approximately 4-5 times. Was able to land it on the first try EACH time. I will say that I noticed a small dent in the front left pontoon. Not sure if it was always there, but could have come from the action of the boat as it hits the guides, and straightens on the bunks.As far as a review. I have had zero problem launching or landing my pontoon since I put them on (which wasn’t the case before). Haven’t tried to do it with wind or a current yet, but I think they will help immensely. Love this product!UPDATE (9/14/20) - I now have 6-10 launches/recoveries under my belt. Of course launches have never been a problem. Its the recovery that can be a challenge. I think I may have had to make two passes twice. Otherwise, every other one has been on the first try. I will provide one tip. Figure out a reference point for the guide when you're steering the boat. I now know that the guide needs to go "directly under": where I am standing/sitting. If I do that, I can recover the boat without touching the guides. I wonder whether I should provide a little more space between the guides and the pontoons. Right now, they are about 2-3" apart when the boat is on the trailer.

A must have for pontoons!
Much less stress with these to help guide me on and nudge me into place with my 22’ pontoon! I only got 1 set, and they work great, no need for a 2nd set. Just started boating this season, and sometimes I could get the boat on the trailer no problem, sometimes there were embarrassing blunders. No more blunders with these! So easy to put the boat on the trailer. It’s now stress free and I enjoy it!! People comment to my husband how good I am at it, and someone was actually clapping the other day, watching me load the boat! :)

Accidentally figured out they are durable.
Admittedly I have not used this heavily as of this time. I bought 2 pairs, installed 1 set on rear and another towards the front.The front was too tall when taking the boat off the trailer - I don't know the details of what happened, but they hung on the support. This caused a bit of cosmetic damage to the plastic, but the steal either flex or the boat was not hung that hard - either way the guides did not bend.Ease of installation? After showing my 10 y/o how to install one, he did the other 3. I snugged up the nuts, but otherwise, it was pretty straight forward once you decide on the positioning. Don't over tighten since it's soft steel.Yeah, I think they are pricey - but all of them are and these are quite useful/more affordable than some options out there.

Putting boat on trailer is so much easier now
Our pontoon boat is about 21ft long and we were having a lot of trouble trying to put it back on the trailer. We put these on the trailer and it made it 1000 times easier. If you purchase this it comes with 2 (one for each side and you put them on the very back of the trailer). Great purchase and we were very happy. We installed it just like in the picture and no drilling required. There is 4 screws on each that you just tighten the bolts. So 8 bolts and you are done in about 5 minutes.

I was unsure what to buy. These are perfect.
I had done a lot of research on which guides to buy. I settle on these and even paid a little extra under prime to have them sent sooner. I have not been disappointed. They are very easy to install and work like a charm. They work better than I had anticipated and are very strong. It was a real PIA to load our 24 foot pontoon boat, so much so that I hated taking it out on the water. This is literally a dream. Love them and have taken boat out twice within a week for the first time since last summer.

One of the BEST purchases I've made!
I bought a single pair of these and it helped a lot. Then I decided to buy a second pair for my trailer. I have a 26' Tritoon that would be tough to trailer on windy days. These guides are nothing short of awesome. I have no issues getting my Premier 250 Grand Isle with 36" PTX package on the trailer. I read reviews about these breaking or damaging pontoons but I have not had any issues. If you go slow, nice and easy, and use common sense you should not cause damage to anything. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up!

Rock solid, much easier to load pontoon
These are something you can’t make for the price of them. Wife is much happier helping load. Wind isn’t a factor anymore. I need to keep the boat farther out as with a shallow launch they can catch the front of the deck. They don’t need to be any taller. I added reflective tape for both cars and when I load at night. Wish I bought these years ago. Even if you only launch a couple times a year they are what everybody should have on a pontoon trailer.

Decent product
These guides were easy to mount on my pontoon boat trailer as there is a rear crossmember mounted on the inside of the pontoons I used them with 4 foot long outside mounted bunks these guides assure that the boat sits down onto the bunks when pulling out of the water some reviews say these are not very well made and flimsy that is not my impression or experience I load /unload my boat by floating it onto and off the trailer not ram jamming it on under power in my case these could have been 6” /8”longer so they would stick up out of the water I plan to add to the crossmember to raise them up

excellent !
Très solide et efficace, très facile d'installation.La descente de bateau que j'utilise est devenue inégale avec les années. Mon ponton partait de travers dès que je tentais de le remonter, c'était l'enfer de le sortit de l'eau. J'ai installé un seul des 2 poteaux et des glissières en plastique: cette année ça a été un charme

works great - just a small modifcation
have a ezloader trailer with 3 " crossmembers - took them to my local welder who cut base plates off turned then 1/2 turn and welded them back on cut a couple base plates and add 3 &1/4 stainless bolts and they look and work awesome . can load 22 ft pontoon in less then 10 minutes

Ease of installation. Peace of mind.
The hardware was a perfect fit for my trailer. Initially I installed a set at the rear of the trailer and noticed a great improvement loading boat so I opted to install a second set up front. In rough water it was a challenge to load my 25' pontoon on the trailer without a lot of muscle pushing and pulling the boat into place. Thanks for an awesome product, it has made our outings more pleasurable, not fighting with the boat at the end of a great day on the water.

One length
The product seems sturdy and fits well once you cut it at the desired length. I wished there would have been more information about the measurements and instructions as to install these at what distance from the pontoon for example.
