Re: Anyone ever under brace/knee the gunnels?
If you're planning on putting repeated outboard torquing stress on the gunwale, like 100+ lb fish pulling on rods without reducing the pull via the reel drag, you had better build knees for it. If you glass them pretty, and put holes through them, you can disguise them as glassed-in under the gunwale rod racks.
