2014 Charger 496 / Merc 250 Pro XS
What about leaving the cooler between the seats so the pro-air system can still be used. Instead of a seat above the cooler have an option to have a small storage compartment like the 210.
Where the step to deck is have that be trash can.

Whatever is done it can’t effect the performance of the hull, which is its main selling point. Would moving the seats back effect the ride? If so don’t do it. The deck is big enough as is if the consoles are modified to allow the rod tips to sit flat down the side of each console. I noticed on later models they now coat that area and the rod straps are now further back on the lids. I like them there.
They can apply the clear protective film and the rod buckle can be mounted anywhere you like .Mine is a 2000 and no scratches on the white paint yet .Good thing with gel a little buffing compound and it cleans marks off pretty easy if needed.
moving the seat back will help with speed and will help with ride as your farther back from the impact point .How much better that could be 5 percent or 50 percent.On the other hand the big heavy trolling motors really add weight along with 12 inch electronics and such so it may be a wash with better deck space.Like 105 ain’t long enough now
Don't have much to add, as I've never seen one, except this......I like coolers that are accesible from outside the boat.
I really hate buying a bag of ice and having to crawl up in the boat to to fill the cooler.
When we're at the beach, funning it up, I like to be able to reach my barley pop without tracking sand in the boat.
How about a removable cooler on driver side with its own door that way if a guy doesn’t want a cooler he can use the box for rods or what ever and still have one under the center seat
make them both removable like a yeti style good cooler
The 596 does have a 53 gal fuel tank does it need to be bigger?

I’d like two drawers for tools or odds and ends that are waterproof.
Livewell size - big enough as is? They seem very small compared to my Basscat triangular ones but they may be deceptively big.
A molded in sandwich shelf in the cooler is handy.
I don't think the trailer tray at the nose is useful anymore.
You know you can just put 30 gallons in it!!
Long runs you can burn 50 pretty easy 75 would be ideal but that takes up a lot of room....
That front tray I removed from mine there’s pics on here somewhere
tool draws would be nice
Livewells are big 20 gals each the 797 are 27 gal and almost to big.
Oh I know rarely ran over half a tank in my 27 gal tank. I would have to see the tanks side by side but a 53 gal tank has to be massive compared. Just thinking most guys don't make that long of runs, would rather have the space, and wouldn't carry around that much weight/fuel.
Gap less lids for seadeck, Day box next to recessed foot pedel well, Fiberglass floor under drives console, Modular consoles, tool holder, single lid for front deck center storage.
Upgraded switch panel
How watertight is the current box design? When I looked at it last week I forgot to ask or look at the design of the lip.
Never had a wet box in any of the chargers I have owned.
Would like to see the latchless lids like on the 210
Only box that gets water in my boat is the step up day box.
I’m kind of torn on the latchless lids the 210 has. It’s a clean deck. I don’t really understand how they stay closed. It seems like the compression latches would be more reliable and seal out water better. I’d be worried my livewell lid may pop open while I’m making a long rough water run, and I’d lose 15 lbs of hard earned fish in a tournament ( don’t ask me how I know that this can happen lol).
