I think you're a prime candidate to check to, to induce bluffs on the river. Also, your sizing is a little big. Doesn't look like a value-bet but a bluff. I'd call any made hand in his spot.

Just fold the turn and be done with it.

Calling for a double gutter on a paired board is meh, fold the turn.
Especially being this deep we have some reverse implied for when we hit our hand and run into a boat.
