I dont like rollers period. They can seize and mar the boat,. If you must use them get the poly( honey colour) type pads. On my boat i used the flat pads for the keel, then used 2x4s waterproofed and covered in outdoor carpet using stainless screws etc. The bunks are adjusted with little centre loading. Ive seen the damage boat rollers do on gel coat and spider cracks. Also i think your trailer flexes quite a lot under way. A set of guide posts at the back would help too.
