it would be a MAJOR project. Never done it, but read about it many times on the classic mako site. rarely on 19's, though. You would have to be very nervous about the hydrodyanmic? performance of your hull w/ bracket. Would it porpise (would be my biggest fear), how would it handle in trailing seas, etc.. and again, a pretty big project. First step would be exstensive searching to see if you could find someone else that has done it. I would not want to be the guinea pig.

If it were me, and it bothered me that much I would just look for a new (bigger) boat...

have you ever put insoles in the rubber boots?

Just day dreaming, I'd be afraid of performance issues like you said, might look into some good one way valves (any suggestions) and even the possibility of a plexigallass add on to keep some of the worst of it out.

I'd be interested in any suggestions on the scuppers and any source of someone I might get some custom cut plexiglass from.

jUST GET A PIECE OF 3/4 PLYWOOD OR THE HEavy plastic we use for the sides for digging ............. take two pieces of the same material put one each down both sides with a space large enough to drop the main piece & you can drop it in when the motor is down & just pull it out when your going to tilt the motor ,
The ruggeder pastic is best / it doesn,t bens, warp , etc & slides nicely ><><><>

piscators contender has this sort of setup. not sure if its factory or an addon but it's a pretty good solution. maybe he'll put up a pic if it's not covered up
