[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 71264, member: 55"] Well, if they add stiffness, they [i]would[/i] be structural. If they weren't structural, they would add no stiffness of any sort. Why? If you loose the wood, the bracket is doing just about nothing - really just adding weight. The bracket itself is really rather useless, given its shape, it is very weak. It merely serves ONLY as a method to attach the wood, which does give some strength. I am not sure how much strength it actually adds, but I will say this, most every vee I have seen has had some sort of triangulation between the gunwale and the seat. Yours is the first I have seen to use wood, however. [/QUOTE]
