This outfit has good deals on trailer parts! I changed to the urethane rollers after painting the bottom to eliminate black marks. The black ones seem to oxidize and leave marks even if you try to clean 'em!
If you install a couple keel rollers on that aft X-member, that will keep boat centered until the outer rollers lock on to the outer step. I tried just using just one roller back there, but discovered that the aft cross member tilts so much during launch/retrieve that keel would scrape on front edge of X-member or the mounting straps, so you really need a front and back roller.
