I bought these to self install because it was cheaper than having the dealer do it when I purchased a new boat. The install was fast and easy. My trailer frame is 2x3 inches. The kit adjusts well for that smaller frame size and it can go larger for those that have heavier boats and trailers. The hardware was all there and seems solid. Total install time was about 30 minutes. The only thing beyond simple hand tools for installation was drilling some pilot holes for wood screws to mate the bunks to the brackets that attach to the guides. I've launched and recovered since installation and it works as advertised. Getting the boat back on the trailer was a breeze and it greatly reduces my time and trouble at the ramp, especially on windy days. My boat is a Lund SSV 14. The boat, motor, trolling motor, batteries, and gear on board come out to about 630 pounds. Boat chine is 55.5 inches and beam is 70 inches. My trailer is a Venture VB1300 is rated for 1300 pounds and boats 14 to 16 feet long and it works perfectly for that combo. In the pictures, I have the guides fairly close to the boat because I prefer it that way. There is a lot of room to adjust these much wider than how I have them so they should work out on boats larger than mine as well.
