Footbraces

I'm at the stage on my Georgian Bay of seaming the hull and deck. After checking the archives I still have some questions. The instructions for attaching the footbraces are to drill through the hull after seaming. I can't think of a reason not to attach them to the hull now, using a short block of wood, epoxied to the hull as the base. Any tips?
