OK I read an awful lot on trailers for the classic montauk-- and keel roller vs bunk, continental vs others... Well maybe for convenience I have decided just to work with a local EZ Loader dealer to replace my rusted-in-the-frame trailer. So I am thinking Bunk , EZ loader 14-17, 2000lb , not sure yet if I can get a torsion axle option on that, but here is my question:

If I forgo the keel supports for now, should the bunk board be 2x4 placed like they were on the inside chine originally-- or is the 2 x 6 better, perhaps placed differently- if no keel roller is present. My initial thought is the wider it is, the more it spread the weight out. Thoughts? Experiences?
