Anyone ever buy the Moomba Guide Pole covers?

[AaronWhitt82]

Hey guys I was looking at the Gear on the site. I want to purchase some items to get ready for Spring.
I like the looks of the Moomba "Custom" Guide Pole covers. Just wondering if any of you own a pair of them? The price seems kind of steep.
Can any of you tell me what they are made of? They look like there's just a Nylon cover over a piece of tubed styrafoam.
Thanks,
Aaron

I don't have any, but I'd like them. I tried to get my dealer to throw some in, but they wanted to charge me $40 for them. I can get a pair of plain ones from Overton's for half of that. I would have thought they would want to advertise, but I guess not. Seems like they would be included with all of the trailers.

The dealer I bought the boat my boat from threw in a pair with the boat. They are just nylon covers over a peice of foam.

I figured thats all they were. I can't believe they want to charge almost $60 just for that! I could go to home depot and get some pipe insulation foam for a few bucks, and those nylon covers can't be that expensive to make. I'm sure your just paying for the name stamped on them.... I'm not trying to talk bad at all. They look really good and I like them, but man not sure I want to pay that much.

I bought generic ones from Overton's. Below is how they look installed.

When I ordered my boat I took the apperance package and they came with. They are as Ed put rub rail savers. My wife drives the boat on about 95% of the time and about 80% of the time she slides up the Right one and the other 20% she slides up the Left one. I'm not sure we're going to get 4 yrs out of ours, but on the plus side there are no beauty marks on my stainless rub rail.

I'm with sled..........I order the appearance package too and the covers are included.

They save wear and tear on the rub rails.

I had them on my 1999 trailer and did not like the ones with the white writing on them. I have black rub rail on my boat and it kept leaving marks on it when putting the boat back on the trailer. The marks were very difficult to remove from the rub rail. I now have a pair from wicked wakes that are solid black and over two years old with no fading. I would buy the plain black ones - just my 2 cents.
