I am thinking the hull on my newly acquired 19ft Silverline needs some additional support. The trailer has 4 crossmembers and there are two rollers on each side on the back two crossmembers leaving much of the mid section of the hull supported only by the keel rollers. When I trailed it, the boat seemed to rock more than I would like.

I have 4 bunk brackets for so I was thinking of moving the existing rollers to the 3rd and 4th crossmembers ( counting from the stern) and making bunks to attach to the 1st and 2nd crossmembers. Another option is to get 4 additional rollers and brackets but that would be more $$.

Would my plan to add the bunks be a viable solution?

I have attached some photos.

absolutely bunks are a viable solution, I agree with your issues completely, and bunks would be perfect

I am a fan of roller trailers and that is no roller trailer. Looks likw someone replaced the bunks with a couple of rollers. Anyway you look at it that is not a good setup and changing to bunks would be a big improvement..
