Trailer guides to assist with lining your boat up on the trailer? If so, then yes, I have.
I bought mine from Overton's, I believe.

60" tall - don't recall the brand, but they work fine.

Like the factory carpetted bunks? If so when I cut mine off this winter I will sell them to you.

I bent both my guides out of shape this past week on a trip. Would the new guides work on a trailer for Vista 238? The 60" ones?

95% of vista trailers I have seen, have bent trailer guides. If you put after market ones on, you will just end up with bigger bent up guides and possably a damaged trailer.
IMHO take the time to learn to load boat on trailer without guides.

The problem with the current guides is not the loading. The problem is getting the trailer in the water straight enough. WE can't see the position of the trailer in the water from looking out the rear window of the truck. The wife backs the trailer up and she can't see if she is lining up properly without hand signals. Plus, the trailer needs to be almost completely submerged at my launch to get the boat on and it is difficult to see the trailer guides in line with the boat. That is mainly why I'm going to the 60" tall pole guides in the rear. It will help putting the trailer in the water and lining it up and it will be easier to line up the boat to get it on the trailer. This will help me. Others are probably used to doing it there own way.
