Yes, 30 degree galvanized elbows, which will be threaded on each end, and
floor flanges or scutcheons, already drilled to bolt to the frame. Thread
the elbows in and work upwards from there.

I have a 21 foot, very HEAVY, 21 year old old 20 foot boat Celebrity
210.

I often go boating on a local river and retrieving the boat is a HUGE
PAIN due to strong cross current.

I bought some PVC Fulton guides, which were a total pain and
completely worthless.

I would like to make my own boat guides, preferably from regular water
pipe (say 2" pipe).

I can make them from straight sections, that would have to attach to
the 2x4" rectangular galvanized frame, and slope at the rate of 1/3,
that is: for 38 inches of rise, they would have to move away from the
bottom by about 12 inches.

It should be relatively straightforward, except that I am not sure how
to attach the pipe to the frame with a 30 degree angle.

I do not have access to a welding machine.

Any suggestions?
