What size and wall thickness box are you using ? I'd be very worried by a single box on a length like that? I think you may get alot of bounce.......

What weight & lenght boat are you gunna put on it?

With the greatest of respect I wouldn't actually put a boat on that! It's going to either bounce a lot or fold in half with anything other than a very lightweight SIB on it!
