But how about making it with a single (gas or diesel) under the console with a jack shaft to an outdrive then have a full tailgate transom?
You get:
Mid-ship powerplant for weight displacement,
Unobstructed full transom without outboard or swim platform for great fishing,
A full swing down transom for hauling in the big ones,
A full swing down transom for when you take green water over the bow,
An outdrive for getting into skinnier water or beaching,
A full swing down transom that turns into your swim platform,
Shorter LOA for dock fees,
Etc., etc., etc...
Can you tell I've been thinking about this in a 24 foot package? I see this option on some larger boats but haven't seen it on a 24 like yours. To me, this would be the perfect setup.
Thanks for listening and again, beautiful lines.

With that high bow,running in a ruff head sea,will the bow ride high? If so,how does one see over the bow? I know tabs will drop the bow,but still? I'm not a fan of those boats,sorry to say.

If the boat is set up right (weight & balance) then you shouldn't have a high bow when running. Have you ever ridden on a Carolina style hull?
