That's one heck of a long span for those 6 foot 2x4s is it not?
Those are two 2x3s and 1 2x6 for each 6' span. The planks are all glued and screwed together for extra stength. Altogether, the beams are roughly equivalent to 4x6 beams, so more than adequate. I tend to over-engineer everything I build, especially big fish stands. It would hold the weight of my Honda CRV no problem
