How much floor bracing is needed?

I'm building my scratch trailer and got all my sheet fitted today. The tub is 4x6 with two braces from side to side. The sheet I've got is 18 GA and I don't want it to bow like a lot of the m416/m100s that we see so often. What do you guys think? More bracing or leave it be?

I would also add some front to rear bracing between the cross members. You can simply use some angle iron welded underneath. My tub's aluminum, so I used aluminum angle.
