Not wanting to mar the hull prettyness think am going to brace/knee then. although i like the idea of glassing wood to the hull and screwing into that for the u clamps as an alternative worth exploring. I may do both in the spirit of structural integrity now better than a torn up gunnel later.

The winter boat work-list grows .

thanks guys...

Josh-

I have taken pictures of my 23SF's knees and brackets.
I didn't install them, and they look bad, but they work. FYI - The bolts are screwed into the liner not all the way thru the hull to the outside. The original owner was a charter captain with similar issues probably with heavy gear putting pressure outboard of the boat. And/or just to beef up the the cap with normal wear and tear of a 1979 Jackshafted diesel that was used daily!

Here are the oversized pictures(sorry for the large size!):
