Remember that all carrera's are not created equal, Depends on the x-dimension even when using the same engine package. Also that boat originally came with a trs drive, trs trans, bbc. So I believe the engine was sitting further forward compared to a bravo one which will leave more room for what you want. 496dimensions are length 35",width 33",height 24". I also know it is a one piece hatch with seat. P.S almost bought the boat, bought another same color, year, also without power. 
I will actually have the engine in 2 days and then I will be able to measure exactly. I bought the engine from Cobra Power in Fl.
I wish I could upload some picture for you guys to see, when I tore down the transom I found traces of the first TRS setup. The transom had ALOT of old holes in it that I had to fix.
I also had to sand down the gelcoat on the transom hull and found layers of old paintjobs. Seems like the boat was all red from the beginning, then painted dark blue.
The wierd thing is that the previous owner seems to have run the boat without trimtabs? I will definately drive the boat with trimtabs.
Highvoltage, what boat did you buy? Do you have pictures of it?
