A pic may be worth a thousand words, but you have to actually look at the pic. I totally missed the double tab. That is amazing.

That's funny stuff Connor!
The "plates", as I like to call them, are all one piece 3/16 steel, bent the shape of the hull and welded to make a channel in the middle(can be seen right side of port tab, left side of starboard in above pic). The top of the channel is level with the top of the plate. The bottom of channel is level with bottom of plate but the forward edge is bent(curved) upward so it never drops below hull and also seals the channel from the front. The rearward edge of the top of the channel is cut out to allow better access to bolt it to the trim tab. The plates are each secured with 4 1/4" SS bolts.
Wow that's hard to explain. That's why I hoped a picture was worth a thousand words..
JK...Happy to answer any further questions fellows.
