What measurements do you need? I have access to mine, in storage. Nothing but good things to say about my 2016 Alpha 199, fast, rides and fishes awesome.
I have an 08 , can measure if you want. I had a 06 519 ranger before the Alpha. Ranger had more deck space and more deck storage . The Legend rides better in the 2ft chop.Both 70 mph boats depending on rigging.I miss the deck space of the Ranger but my neck doesnt miss the pounding.
Still up on website.

I don't have anything negative to say about a 199.
i have a 13 - really nothing bad to say about it. i love the boat. If i were to nitpick on a few things it would just be the rod locker - the tubes shouldn't be in there unless you have only 6'6" rods. The locker is a bit short for 7'6" to 8' rods. being said, i cram like 14 rods in there pretty easily and most are 7'3" or bigger with 4 8' - you just have to run them kind of up between the the front of the locker and the side of the hull. best to use rod sleeves on these.
the little day locker is kind of useless to me where its located, usually has rods on top of it and hard to get to. nothing really bad about it - its not like its in the way or fragile or anything, just not really convenient.
the other is - watch your weight, they will loose speed if you pack them to the gills with batteries/poles/gears etc.
Being said, the only boat by any brand i would even consider over my 199 is a 211.
yes i did the same. still can only fit longer rods on the far side however - most of my rods are 7'3" - 8' so that side is pretty tight. there's a gap between the front deck bulkhead and the hull many of them kind of squeeze through.
