I like the bunk boards for the keel that tsubaki has on his boat, i just need to see them better or even find out who makes them.
One place wanted me to use a swiveling bunk board bracket to fit on there, but didnt say how I would attach it at or if I can angle it to fit the keel.
Any Ideas?

A properly fitted keel roller will not tear up the keel. The whole reason for the roller is to prevent the keel from being torn up. I'm willing to bet that your keel is hitting something as your boats launching or retrieving. But the roller (if it's adjusted correctly) should never do anything except allow the keel to glide across it.
