Yes, CLC discontinued the Patuxent 19.5 but they replaced it with the PAX 18
and PAX 20.  Check out their web site (www.clcboats.com), and especially 
their discussion forum for more information.

That said, I've heard that many people with larger feet and large bodies in
general have trouble fitting into the Pax 19.5.  I don't know if the 
PAX 18 or 20 are any better.  I built a CLC Northbay XL last winter and
even that doesn't have a lot of footroom.  However, any S&G boat can be 
modified by it's builder.  By changing the deck beams you could get more
footroom and the cockpit openings and outfitting can be customized as
well.
