I replaced the boards on my trailer about a year ago.
The galv. metal brackes were rusting really bad and I needed to do something before one of them bent or broke while I am on the road.
I got rid of the metal brackets and put 4" x 4" treated fence post boards and covered them with carpet. This lowered the boat a few inces on the trailer.
Getting the new boards leveled just right to get them to evenly support the weight of the boat is a little pain. But putting a few fiberglass shims did the trick.
Only cost was for the U-bolts........about $ 25. I had the other things already.
