I know it seems silly, but after having the story of the Indianapolis engrained into me by "Jaws", I'd love to see a younger sailor named "Quint" on the ship.

I think he should act his age. Going on adventures and getting into fist fights at 72 is ridiculous. If they want to do a story about Professor Jones I'm all for it.
It might be ridiculous for most, but not for this character. Remember, we've already seen him in his nineties, and from what we've seen we know he's had at least one physically harrowing adventure sometime after anything in the movies so far. We could at least find out what happened there.
But I'd also be up for a less physical adventure, too. There's room in this series for a movie that's less action-oriented and more about intrigue and suspense and secrets, or even just the thrill of discovery (then again, I freely admit I'd be happy with a movie that were nothing more than two hours of Dr. Jones's classroom lectures put on film, so I know I'm a bit biased).
I don't think any newly cast Indiana Jones would necessarily need to be a "reboot" - just a recast. A new actor, younger than Harrison Ford, would be able to slot nicely into the timeline established by the first four movies without negating the events of those movies.
That'd be great, except that each actor to play Indy so far has covered him at a certain age or age range. It's one thing to accept the differences in actors when each just represents him at a certain time in life, and we can nicely go from Carrier to Phoenix to Flanery to Ford to Hall. It's something else to have two or more representing him in the same time frame, so that if you watch things in order you're alternating between, say, Pratt and Ford, back and forth between them.
Moreover, that era is already pretty well-covered, whereas there's nothing between 1958 and 1992. That's a huge gap, and it's one in which we know interesting things happened but we don't know what they are.
