Those are all good ideas!
You're right about the seats. I'd rather have two in the back with a nice deck behind them, and be done.
The things I've noticed about boats that need to be improved for musky fishing:
1. Not enough tackle storage space. -- hanging bait compartments in the front and the back would be the BOMB. Either or would be good too! Then all you would need is room for the 3700 plano boxes so you can store big baits, sucker rigs, etc.
2. Casting space -- Some boats have a front deck big enough for two, some don't. Those that don't never have a substantial place for a guy to stand in the middle of the boat.
3. Rear deck -- bigger is ALWAYS better.
4. I see no reason to have two livewells in a musky boat. Just one is enough, as long as it's a big one (over 50 please?"
5. Using a livewell as a cooler is ok, but your ice melts, and you get lake water in your sandwiches... a dedicated cooler that keeps stuff COLD and holds enough food (and beer) for three guys would be ideal
6. Rod storage -- should be enough space for at least 6 8 footers. Ideally, I'd say 9' so you can put your trolling rods and your sucer rods in there too.
7. Dry storage that stays dry
8. WHY can't someone make a fishing boat that actually has a place for the freakin NET?
9. A place to hang tools and baits where you can reach them but you don't have to worry about hooking your pants leg
