    Charger 296 livewel.

    Was looking at chargers online. The live wells look small and hard to reach without being on the back deck. Any opinions?

    I've owned 3 Chargers and never really had an issue with the outside livewells. My Gambler was setup the same way. I don't think they are bad at all to drop to a knee on the seat and put a fish in or cull, never had any issues at all personally.

    I do agree that they need to be more accessible. On the 296,396 and 496, they need to flip-flop the back storage compartment and the livewells. I am sure there is a reason why they are where they are, like the gas tank and easier access to the recirc pumps. The 596 and 186 are in perfect spots in my opinion.
