I've seen setups like that where you have 2 keel rollers set next to each other about 2 inches apart on a swivel bracket. Lets the rollers tilt a little forward or backward as the boat comes across them, and carries twice the weight of a single.

As far as the roller flattening out, get Yates brand yellow poly rollers... I've had great success with them in the past and they don't seem to flatten near as much as the black rubber kind. plus they don't leave black marks on your hull.
