I purchased my stands from Brownell directly. Brownell also hauls my boat to and from the house every year. We use 2 of each as you stated of the Brownell stands. They also have plenty of 340's at there yard with the 2 + 2. I have never seen the 4 sailboat Stands + 2 on a 340. The weight of the boat is on the blocks the stands are only for stabilization.

I bought all of my stands for my 290 on Craigslist for $150 and just grabbed some 8x8's from the lumber yard that were damaged and used a chainsaw to cut them and make cribbing blocks.
It's not rocket surgery, my haulers had it set up in under a minute. Not a joke.

The weight is on the blocks at the keel, the stands just stabilize and maybe take 6-8% of the total load. They are screwed up tight and that's it. If the ground gets soft, lay down sacrificial plywood. My scrap pieces last about 3-4 winters before I toss them, my boat sits on my lawn.

The picture in my signature is the day we bought the boat. I use the same style stands but I used cribbing stacks to spread the load further across the keel instead of just on 2 blocks
