Posted By: Francois M26S Vancouver Island Date: 4/10/09 7:34p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: Don't hurt me! I have a "goal post" question... (link) (pic) (Chris & Lenore - Mac 26S - Teliki) and mine were MOST probably stock. Just probably different heights on different years...but if you're scratching the gelcoat with the top of the post...you're in way too deep. On mine I put a wrap of tape on the driver's side goalpost as a "target"...it's just at the point where the boat will float on and off....and it's about 16" down from the top (about 12" above the trailer rail) so when I put the trailer in the water it's always just at the right depth. Makes things at haul-out real simple. I like simple.
