from other company's.Plus remember the top cap on the the 6 series is around 5 inches wide.Most of the other brands are around 1 inch to 2 inch wide depending on brand.596 is 21'9",496 is 20'6",396 is 19'9",186 is 18'6"...797 is 21'3"The 797 is one of the largest fishing platforms on the market,the only one bigger is the z9 by a inch or so on deck size.Also the 496 and 596 and 797 are any v6 rated.

Rear 73 wide x 49 long

foot pedal 48

Update the 596 /496/396
bottom width hull is right at 87/88 inches
beam is right at 96 across cap.
trolling motor pedal is about 50 inch +/- 2 inch depending on your mount and you can move it all the way forward.
seat is right at 57/60 inch depending on hole.
Front deck ,396 is 95 inches 596 is 106 inches depending on model.
Console is 75 inch on 396/496 73inch on 596
rear deck is 78x51 on 396/496 and 78x62 on 596
seat room from console is 37/38 inches.
rod box is 15 inch deep at rear and 13 inch at front
and 23 inches wide and will hold 30+ rods x 2 .
Hull depth (knife) is 45 inches ,most bass boats are 15-24 inches .
12 inch fish finder mount for bow and console.
The deck looks small because of the point but is actually wider than most.Optical illusion.
Looking at Cougar/puma Charger 6 series are 5 inches wider and 15 inches longer on deck.
Compare this to other brands and you will find that Charger sells alot of boat for less money.

Heres the Elite 210

Does the 496 have 2 lids like the 396 in the center of the front deck? If so why does the above pics only show 1 deck lid in the center?

It was a option.You could get it either way.

Here is a picture of the 210 deck from a Champion 210.

The picture is a good addition to this thread. Thanks.

New pic

Champion 198 width across the front seat pedestal is the same as the 210 from my understanding.

Can we see a deck pic with specs for the 198?

So many great boats from every different builder I've seen over the years, and truthfully I love every one of them. Some are pretty, some are downright nasty, (in a good way) and some just cookie cutter boats but as I said, I get a kick out of every one of them. This Charger, is now my favorite. For these eyes, best looking boat I've ever seen!
