I have carpet coated wood bunks on my trailer.
Judah, the trailer came with guide posts, but attaching them is tricky. Also the posts take up more space around the boat, I have little space to walk around it where it is. Other than that I'm just a minimalist.
Your not most likely going out on big wind days. Your boat is light and has little windage as it's low profile.
If you go out out on a day that it's blowin, just walk the boat on and off the trailer.

What a talented artist he is, doe's he live close to the sea?

Broken big toes suck, when you get back in the water use a fin on the injured food that has a soft
flexible blade. A least your young Dan, broken shite on my bod now takes twice as long to heal.
I've broke the big toe on my right foot 4 times. Run the boat for your friends until you heal, at least
you not dealing with a badly torn hamstring.
Get well buddy.
All the best, Don
Thanks for the elaboration. I'll have to look up the low profile slide ring that you referred to, as I don't think I know what that is.
I don't have use silde rings but I think he's comparing the old wound spring (hi drag) to the thinner
stamped sheet, or investment cast type.
Cheers, Don
The thinner the shooting line the higher the shaft speed @ range. If a loop of fat 500 mono is drug as
the shaft leaves the barrel it's putting on the brakes.

Don insired me to do SOME testing with all the awesome stuff he's posting Quote: LunkerBuster.
Way Cool .... I just don't want to inspire you to not hurt anyone nether.I've done some real stupid shite over the years.
Safe in water testing will give guy's a new tool in their spearfishing kit. The point of all this is not just the
findings, it's the quest to refine all gear we use and build.
All the best, Don
Thought you guy's could used this:
Don
Good choice, that's what I had.

If he ever comes here.....BAN HIM. :@:@

It's funny to see Marc Antoine Berry with such a refined gun. He looks to be in great shape BTW, he has to be close to 60. Quote Dan
I have never dove with him but he has been a animal in the water for 40 years, I think he'll still be in good shape at 90. My friend Jack Prodanovich was like a rock too until he hit 85 and later died at 94.
Take care of yourself guys, and you'll be diving a long time.
Cheers, Don
You have 2 16mm bands in parallel and those are in series with the 20 mm.
I would suspect you'd have to solve some sort of differential equation of motion. i.e. be a physicist or trial and error.
The first one I heard about had a 20 and two 16, I made a mistake the test talks a bout a 19 and two 16 spider bands.
At the end of the day one is still cocking 3 bands to shoot 20 feet with a metal slide ring on the shaft.
Cheers, Don
How much is it going to cost?
A lot for what it is ... I'm just bringing it up for the guys to see and discuss.
I added a test link with a report. Do you know Ted over there from Navy Divers Supply,
Cheers, Don
Welcome Ryan, first let the water here clear so you don't get sick from whats in the run off.
Then goggle the next gruion run, I'll get back to you later this weekend to give you some tips.
Cheers, Don Paul
Here's the new Marlin Roller gun, where is the enclosed track? It is supposed to be at the pinnacle of
technology.I'm not impressed with the bulk of the lower bands.
Primary band is 20mm with twin 16mm spider bands under the barrel. What do you guy's think.
I'll try to get a test clip.
Cheers ,Don
boys, it is not about how long your shark spike is....it is about what you stab and how you stab it
Here Here...
Not a pipe gun :nono:
How about a square metal tube hidden by wood spike? 
fit to a casting?
Dan those look great.
Cheers, Don
Yours is longer......:@
Don
Don, how big do you figure the seas have to be to start popping those spearguns out of the rack the way it is now?
The seas can be dead flat and you just happen to cross some one wake with a deep drop.
I would go with what you have and add or mod as nessary.
Cheers, Don
Looks good your getting to be a true fabricator, How about one small hole in each bracket for a over
the top bungie when you get the boat air borne. The front of the bow can really toss thing in a big chop.
And stay out of West Marine .... no matter how many C-notes you stuff in that front pocket they will
find every one.;):nono:
If your out in a real big wind, I know you pick you weather, but if your out and get your tail caught.
Pass a safety line though all the band of the guns just in case some thing breaks.
The rack looks great, if you do a PVC shaft tube for guest's shafts:@ make sure you take them out
after the trip to rinse them.
I like those black bracket guards. That vinyl wall/floor edging works for a lot of stuff on a boat, great chafe guards.
Cheers, Don
