Boat guide ons

[hooligans34]

Does anyone have any ideas for homemade boat guide ons? Jon boat size. Something cheaper than ordering a $70-80 premade set.

I remember a write-up somewhere in this section for some that'll run you right around $30. Do a search and it'll turn up.

MADE MINE OUTTA 2" PVC, A COUPLE 90'S,2 PCS SCDL 40 PIPE, 4 U BOLTS, AND SOME 3/16 X 1" STRAP STEEL FOR SUPPORTS WORKS RATHER WELL, GOTTA USE THE SUPPORT STRAPS GOING FROM THE FRAME TO THE UPRIGHTS OR THE BOAT WILL JUST BLOW OUT THE 90, FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY.

Thanks FishinsMyLife.....I found the one you mentioned. They used a latter stabilizer and pvc pipe.....

 

[hooligans34]

wow, i am a redneck. It's a ladder stabilizer.....lol

That's the one I remembered. Definitely the way I'm gonna go when I get the chance.

Got the parts to make a set for my trailer last week - shop around for the ladder stabiliser, Lowe's had one for $45, Menards for $32, and Fleet Farm for $22. A 2"x10' piece of schedule 40 set me back 3.50 on sale, so all i need to pick up now is some minor hardware to bolt everything on.

I got everything I needed for $32 bucks. Latter stabilizer at Lowes $25, 2" pvc pipe $5, 2 end caps $2. I used the U bolts that came with the latter stabilizer and used two other bolts I had laying around for extra support. I mounted mine on the fenders because my boat was to wide to use the trailer frame. It came out wonderful. Thanks everyone for your help!!

Wow! I want to visit your Lowes! That's a heck of a difference!

Also good to hear about the mounting near the fenders, that's looking exactly like what I'm going to need to do with mine.
