three 2x12 6' long. Three crossmembers, at front, aft and rear,

wood glue and screws.



It sounds like the glue joint would have to be end grain to long grain
making it just about useless. What do you suppose the shear strength of
the screws are for the cross member that the "lifting eye" will be
attached to?


It is long grain to long grain, if I understand you correctly. One
board under another but perpendicular.
