my stingray ( like an 18ft tornado) sits on the trailer by the beams sitting on forward running rails about 1/2 inch inside the hulls. and we have our beams enclosed in the hulls, not bolted onto the decks. so if there was a problem, we would be the first to NOT do that, as its very difficult to replace a beam. my boat is at least 20 years old, original beams and decks and my platform is still very stiff, no twisting whatsoever. the wider you can make the frame for your beams to sit on, the better.
much like the picture by trailex for the a class. however we have a system where the rails can be lowered at the back to make it easier to remove boat from trailer. it slides down the carpeted rails and onto your beach rollers. it also allows you to fit a sailbox to the trailer as the boat sits a little higher above the box.
