I have a bunch more 1/8" stainless plate from some home-made fixed trim tabs that were on the boat (bad idea). There is enough there to triple up the back plate double the sides and add quite a bit of bracing. Does anyone think that would suffice? Another thought: I am an accomplished cabinet maker and I have a whole industrial sized roll of glass cloth and a near endless supply of epoxy, could I conceivably build up a bracket/swim platform from 3/4" ply wood doubled up, epoxied together and enclosed in cloth and resin? If you guys think this would work I'm capable of making something WAY nicer than I could ever afford and I already have all the materials to do it.
