Don't hurt me! I have a "goal post" question...

We finally made it down to the marina today to check on Teliki.

Good news is that I can scramble around her with my busted up leg - the summer is now looking much better!

But I'm off my topic. While there I noticed that the goal posts on our trailer are not very high.

Maybe this is the reason they are usually underwater (as per my other posts about gelcoat scratches).

Seems like I either need to remove them entirely or extend them (maybe with sliding inner tube with PVC over it all).

My question - are mine typical height or shorter than most?
