Skin-on-Frame: Hello all new guy with a SOF build *PIC*

Just thought I'd sign up and do the obligatory hello world post. I'm building a Yost based 15' Sea Tour EXP which is my first kayak build which is going well though I am curious about one part of the build, I've got the frame assembled and I just finished the bow piece, next to shape up the stern, but I was looking at it and I can't think of any good reason why I would remove all the screws and replace with wooden pegs. I have the dowels to cut down, but I'm just not seeing a benefit, it can't be weight... is there something I'm missing?
