I'd like to own a 19'6 but they don't come available very often, and the 170 I do own is in good shape, and the transom has been redone. My only complaint is the lack of cockpit space aft and I wondered if anyone else had attempted to remedy that by installing an outboard bracket on a 170. And yep, with the 115 2-stroke I have on the boat, the stern sits low. The other problem is that the outboard's bracket partially covers the drains on the outside of the transom so that I can't use one-way ball-type scuppers on them to drain the cockpit. I am thinking about cutting new drain holes but am not sure where...
