Very rough estimates show the capacity of the P-19 cockpit is about 36 cubic
feet (6 x 1 x 1 above each bench, 6 x 2 x 2 in the well). 36 cubic feet is
62,208 cubic inches which is about 264 gallons. When flooded to the brim the
cockpit will hold about 2200 lbs of water. With this weight so high in the
boat, how will it handle? Will this water weight overcome the righting
moment of the keel? A one inch drain system will take about 26 minutes to
drain the cockpit. A 4" scupper will clear it in less than two minutes.
