    Charger 396 owners

    How do you like the new hull design? The other charger boats have a 45 degree angle at the back and the 396 is straight across the back. Does it seem to handle any different? Does it ride and handle rough water like the others do?

    Mine rides great and, most importantly to me any way, with the square back end you have more room on the rear deck. Add to that the increased stability and you have a great fishing platform. I fished two full weekends with a rather large friend and didn't even notice him on the rear deck.

    I can't really comment on the rough water ride as I've only had it on Bull Shoals. Bull's not much for rough water.

    I'm fishing the 18th on LOZ and will comment here, on the rough water ride, after that tournament.
    I got nothin

    Yea let me know, not my first Charger and this one seems to ride a bit rougher. It has a hydro jackplate and the motor is on the top hole and am a little worried that in rough water in am not getting my motor low enough.
