Skin-on-Frame: SOF Gunnel Blocks

I am currently building a 16' SOF canoe from Platt Monforts plans. I am wondering if I can skip the gunnel blocks that are in the plans and just attach the inwhale to the ribs. I guess the blocks add some strength to the gunnels, but they are going to take some time to make and install. Anyone else experience this.
Thanks,
Adam
