The only difference in the CE Smith Post-Style Guide-Ons for Boat Trailers # CE27626 and # CE27620 is the color of the PVC posts. The # CE27620 uses white PVC posts while the # CE27626 has black PVC posts.

Both sets of posts are 40" tall, have a pipe diameter of 2-3/8", adjust out up to 13" and attach to the frames of trailers up to 3" wide x 4-1/4" tall.

You can use the CE Smith Extra-Long U-Bolt Kit # CE11416 for trailer frames up to 3" wide x 5-1/4" tall. And the LED Light Kit # CE27656A will provide you with better visibility when having to maneuver the boat trailer in low light conditions.
