The capacity per pair of Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21741 is 3,000 lbs. If you used two pairs and the weight was evenly distributed you would have a capacity of 6,000 lbs. However, these rollers are 5 feet long so if you used 2 sets you would have 10 feet per side.

For a 4 feet sections you would want Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk # DL21740. However, these sets only carry 2,500 lbs of capacity per pair, so if you used two sets you would be at 5,000 lbs which is what you listed as the weight of your boat. Which would be okay if that figure was accurate, but since its that close you would want to verify the weight and consider the weight of anything stored in your boat.
