[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 277355, member: 5368"] the pictured brackets are totally insufficient. if you look closely, they are just bent bar stock, so they only have strength in tension, as in when the gunwales are pulled towards the outside of the boat. they provide little to no strength in compression, as when the gunwales are pushed in towards the center of the boat (such as happens when on the water). the gusseting DaveInGA suggests would improve their strength in compression greatly.
