maxium length for bunk supports?

[lime4x4]

Looking at converting my trailer over to bunks which is currently a roller trailer. I'm looking at around 1300 bucks just for 32 rollers and 8 pairs of quad rollers. for a easy loader trailer. The boat fully loaded weighs around 8000lbs. Currently my support cross members are mounted about 10 feet apart.

if you are talking about span from one support to the next.... bout 3 feet works ok.. 10 is way too far
