Default Re: Anyone ever under brace/knee the gunnels?

I have one swivel rod holder mounted in the bow of my 23 CC. When I re built her in 01-02 I removed the cap and removed the lamination replacing with all plywood I did get a little flex deep dropping with a 10 lb. weight and a approx 150 lbs. shark snagged in the tail dragging his ass up from 600’ but not much. Another thing to consider is how long are your rods??? Remember the longer your rod the more pressure will be put on the rod holder (Leverage). Maybe it’s time to buy some new shorter rods.
