Default Anyone ever under brace/knee the gunnels?

Have 2 (one each gunnel now) swivel rod holders for 130 lb class gear to target gian bluefins, with another 2 to be added. The gunnels have between 1.5 to 3 inches of wood/glass underneath plenty good. However they flex too much for my liking, considering some knees/bracing underneath in a couple spots...i cold use a bottom metal brace for each rod holder and punch out for 2 screws thru the side of the hull, but that is not pretty . Its the easy way but not what am thinking.

Any reason to not brace the gunnel or comments on my winter plan?
