How are the corners on those rollers? I used 2 similar but smaller ones and the corners are too pokey. I'd like to find one that is 5-6 feet wide. Anyone know where to find one?

Eventually I'd like to make about 20" of enclosed storage under the roller deck, so everything can fit secured for the off season, and just for extra gear under the rigged boat.

I looked all over for a 6' wide one. I even emailed FishCraft and asked if they would sell me one (no response). I'll take some shots and email them to you- so far it's worked awesome. I just did a 3 night on the Green and 2 of us were able to haul a big boat + frame and cooler with not much effort.
 
Dave Frank-

Here are some shots of the rollers I put on the back of the truck- they don't have any sharp edges and are fat enough to keep and fabric from pinching. Less than $60 for the hardware and wood.

I also put a 1-1/4" PVC rail down the side to keep the edge of the raft from touching metal,keep it from shiting side to side, and to help it slide on the bed....
