Does anyone have pictures of a 596 they can post (not factory photos, real customer photos)?
I'm interested in seeing how it looks sitting in the water, on the trailer, and running flat-out.
Also, what is the dead rise of the v-hull and what does it draft (how shallow can it go)? Does anyone run the 596 with hydraulic trim-tabs in rough water?
How fast will it run with a 250proXS ?
heres the pic of them running
the top pic is a 195 and the bottom is a 595(596) same boat the 596 is all composite.

with a 250 you will see low to mid 70s
mine will float around 12 to 15 " depending on the load.
dont know what the dead rise is but it is sharp and deep
You will not need trim tabs,they have built in trim tabs.They are not in the water when you are up on the pad.Chargers are built nose heavy to cut through the rough stuff,the sharpe v along with the hull design lets it run flat when you are trimed down.The sides of the hull are designed to not let the nose to spear waves.You can see how they look like ramps on each side going into the sharp V.With the larger Chargers 296 396 496 596 you dont get the pounding of the semi v tri hull boats.
These boats are designed to give you that pillow soft cadillac ride not the corvette feel it in you r ass ride.

Thanks for the info! I might have to drive up there and get a demo ride!! Anything else I should know about the 596?
You will have to buy more stuff to fill all the compartments
On the passenger side console, is there enough space for a co-angler to stow 6 or 7 rods next to him? Some boats have slots near the floor on the passenger side of the dual console so the eyes don't tangle...Does the Charger have this feature?

Yes there is a 6 holder for the passenger rods,and both rod boxes have a 10 spot for you and your partner.The boxes will hold more if you want to lay them under the rack.
Nice pics Matt!!!
