Thank you for the photo of your Grady White boat trailer which now has wooden bunks.
Roller bunks like Dutton-Lainson Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21741 can make winching a boat up onto a trailer a much easier process by substantially reducing the friction between the hull and bunks. Roller bunks also reduce the stress and load on your winch.
In your case your boat's 8800-lb weight is in excess of the 3000-lb capacity of these rollers. Even if you used two sets of rollers they would not have enough capacity for your particular boat.
