    I know some of the Ranger Trails had the spare like that. They also had a spare hub w/bearings that it mounted on.

    Only flats I have had were in the dark, -3, or 103 in the shade last thing I wanted to do was fight getting the spare out from between the beams of the trailer.

    Free idea for Charger.....be the first boat manufacturer to invert the spare. Mount it between the beams upside down with a cable lowering system like trucks use. Insert/attach tool and lower cable to lower the spare to the ground. Just a thought never said it was a good thought.

    Good idea, but, your talking about a mechanism that will be in and out of the water repeatedly. Will be a rusted up nightmare, in my opinion. Too many moving parts. Just put the tire in a cradle that you can just lift tire slightly and slide out.

    Good to see a brand new 596. IMO the best riding bass boat made. I do not like the seats though.

    The spare between the beams the lower mechanism would be above it not sure but I don't remember putting my trailer that far into the water to get that area wet. Just guessing without any leg work the rear pumper would be in the water. Anyway doesn't matter just a idea. I'm full of them just ask

    Somebody needs to strap a 400R on the back of one of these 596's! That SOB would flat haul a$$.

    I agree snoop. But they still have the recess areas for the tie down cletes which bugs the heck out of me!

    That’s pretty dang sharp looking! Is this for a customer or someone’s inventory? (If it was posted earlier I forgot)

    With the aluminum tanks and all composite vents are really not needed any more and the 6 series is all open on the side which makes it a breeze to run wires.
