We'll call it a 135XG.

Wonder where you obtained the 'C' channel.
Wonder if Home Depot or Lowes has it?

I got it at Home Depot, its for edging or framing plywood. 8 feet was $11.00 with taxes. It's 1/2 inch and slid in quite easily into the 91XG booms except the ones that had gotten bent:

Yes it probably will hold up fine.
A few years ago, did a similar thing with MCM 30-2370's, but used round tubing inside the boom.
Think it was 3/4 inch square tube to join and reinforce the cradles.
It is located in KY, and has seen some ice and high wind.

I think my mods will do fine also as far as durability. That 1" box tubing is thick. Sleeving the antenna boom internally seals the deal. BTW, I "bowed" the C channel so it had a bit of spring to it so actually pushes the ends of the boom up a little just to compensate for boom sag. It worked well.
