I've been contemplating hand trucks and also wheeled outboard motor

a larger plate would do it. The outboard motor stands, though, are not
as tall and might be a better choice.

Welding a steel plate is probably overkill in my opinion. A piece or
3/4 inch ply should be more than sufficient and could be easily
unbolted if you wanted to use the hand truck for something else.
