I'd love to do an additional bend (parallel) on the thrust plate. I decided against it for two reasons. First, it can only run a small distance, since I had to cut the part that goes below the ways into a half circle to fit, and second because that piece is relatively cheap so I can replace easily with a more substantial one if actual use demands it. I didn't put bends at the ends (perpendicular) because I felt the bolts would provide sufficient resistance to bending in that direction. But I could certainly be wrong about that!
The boat is fiberglass (balsa wood core), with a fiberglass deck and cockpit. It's stood up well these past 30 years, but it's due for another round of paint, especially some anti-fouling bottom paint... ;-)
