Can Post-Style Guide-Ons be Used on Trailer After Removing Bunk Style Guide-Ons
Question:
My trailer has bunk style guides already, but Im concerned that they may cause more damage to my 1963 Chris Craft Sea Skiff than the Guide-on posts. Is it possible to bolt the post style guide-ons onto my trailer after I remove the bunk style? Ive attached a photo of the existing trailer if that helps.

The CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27640 can be used to replace your bunk-style guide-ons to protect your (very cool) 1963 Sea Skiff from potentially getting damaged by the bunk-style guide-ons.
From what I can tell of the photo you sent it looks like the guide-ons you are currently using are bolted on with U-bolts and the Post-Style Guide-Ons # CE27640 will also be attached to your trailer frame with U-bolts. You only need a frame that is up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall to use these guide-ons, or you'd need the Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416 if your frame was between 4-1/4" and 5-1/4" tall, though from the photo it doesn't appear to be.
I have added a link to a video review of the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27640 for you to take a look at.
