Yup, sold the 192 to a friend/co-worker at the beginning of last summer after I found a very nice 226.  We trailer the boat to the Kawarthas, the Muskokas, Vernon/Peninsula/Fairy lakes, the Haliburtons and parts of the Trent.  So far, we've booked a few weeks on Cameron Lake and Lake Muskoka but there will be plenty of weekend trips as well.

Planning any mods to the 196?

Since I haven't taken possession of the boat yet, I don't know what or even if there are any modifications or changes that I should consider
Do you have any suggestions of any that I should look at for the 196?

Well, take delivery and enjoy the boat.  Once you get to spend some time on her, you'll figure out what, if anything will need changing.  It really is all about personal preferences and usage.
