I picked up about a mile an hour or so with the speed of the old 35, as the motor sat about an inch or so higher, and it didn`t effect the ride in a negative way. I think 10" wide might be too narrow for the bracket on your motor. It should be at least an inch wider at the inside measurement than the outboard clamp bracket. Your 1/2' thick channel is about right, mine is 3/8" thick, too light for a bigger engine.
