Rick,
If your welder has a TIG, you might as well weld up your floor channel crack before you reinforce it.
Inland Andy recommends an additional flange on either side (outboard of the main frame rail) as an additional hold down point for the floor channel to the frame. (Think of a 2"-3" piece of angle iron welded to the out side of the main frame rail with a 3/8" bolt securing passing through it, the plywood, and the floor channel. Be sure to add a large fender washer or better yet, piece of steel inside the channel to increase the holding power.) This will give you four rear hold down points on the frame instead of the factory two.
You are wise to replace the entire piece of plywood.
