I wonder if you could just move the engine hump forward 3 feet?
It would make for better fishing access at the stern, you could use the fuel tank hatch cutout as a start, and you could walk around the hump on the port side to gain access to the cabin? I think it is 16-18" from the deck to the keel stringer there.
It might wash out in CG though, if you fill a stern tank or two with fuel.
No way I would try this until I had to repower, and that would mean a diesel.

The previous owner cut off the windshield and sent it to the dump in an effort to remedy the poor sight lines over the cabin, which is why I had to make my own. So a 25 Seafari conversion to a 25 Savage would need to have the cabin cut down as part of the mods. Then it could work.
But the purists would go apoplectic.
