Tooling changes, like removing the interior rear side tanks, are not likely to happen for one boat. That includes all major boat builders. Deck extensions, seats, and other items not related to the hull and deck mold are not much of a problem.
Right...which is exactly why you need to find the best floor plan for your needs, as a starting point. The other stuff you are talking about is relatively inconsequential in the scheme of things. But as I may have mentioned before, a company like Warrior will work with you on things like the size of a compartment or an access hatch. I'm sure they aren't able to change a deck though, because that would indeed require a mold change as you mentioned. Impractical and very expensive, to be sure.
So the starting floor plan is pretty important in the big picture. If the starting point isn't something that suits your fishing style, then it probably isn't going to get much better from there.
