No   The plumbing under the sink is the same for the larger strainer. Its a 11/2" pipe. You will need to buy the strainer about $8., it doesn't come with the sink.

Thanks!  How did you connect the strainer?  The stock sink has the tiny strainer and this new sink has a normal size strainer.  Did you have to modify that section?

Sure   bar sink 640 511 metallic black 20x17x7  169.00  Reading the reviews on this sink, I checked my sink out for cracks or any damage before installing.  I did reroute one plug wire under the counter.
Good Luck

Can you confirm which sink you used?  Home Depot has a couple of 20x17x7 sinks that have different specs.  I want to make sure I get the right one that will fit since it seems like it will be a pretty tight fit.

I should say it feels twice the size.

The sink I installed was the maximum size for that area. That sink is twice the size of the one I removed.

The plumping was just fine.  Top drawer shortened 1". If you decided to install a new sink remove the three drawers and the two cross members. Its very easy to remove and it will save you time.

That looks really nice. My wife and I just took our 179 in our first major trip a couple of weeks ago and think a new sink would be nice. 

From what you saw when you installed yours, do you think a dual basin sink can be installed if the hole is enlarged?

That looks great.  I have been wanting to add a larger sink but was not sure if it would fit with the draw underneath.  Can you post pics of the underside?  How much of the plumbing needed to be modified?
