Default Making boat trailer guides

I believe you can buy 30 deg elbows.

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?
