Biggest issue is Getting the keel support LOW as even on my 4.5' draft Cal 29 when its on the movers trailer the pulpit is quite the tree branck catcher

Most of the movers use 3 sets of jackstands to balance the boat with the keel supports doing the bulk of the work

Tommays offers good advice about getting the boat as low as possible. Also helps getting it on and off the trailer, you will need less water...
As for the pad location, Fore / Aft you will want at least 3 pads per side. The fore and aft most ones you should try to get close to bulkheads on the interior and then about half way between for the 3rd set. Hope that helps.
