1973 Aquasport 19.5 Console placement

[Fishmore2013]

My 1973 19.5 came to me with no deck, I was wondering if someone could tell me the distance from the transom to the back of the Center console
I saved the outer part of the stringer, I had to remove the inner part because of some delamination and wet balsam. Since then I have done the transom, rebuilt the stringers, made the tank coffin and I am getting ready to reinstall the gas tank. Next comes refoaming the stringers.
So many hours of work.....

I have the same boat. My notes say original was 75" from transom, but not sure if it was to the vertical wall of the console or the back edge of the bolt down foot.

I have a question for you.  Do you have the distance from the transom to the backside of the original gas tank?

Thanks

Sean, I’ve got 41.5” from transom to the rear fiberglass  tabs (where it sits on) of the fuel tank. My 196 is all original except where I completely gutted it . Those tabs are the only thing I left attached to the stringers.
And thanks for the console measurement, I forgot to make note of that.
