Miles O, I had it explained to me that to jackshaft an inboard makes it more trailerable and able to draw less water while making it a little easier to handle? I guess that it is a cross between th I/O and the inboard, the weights up front(better ride) but you can trailer it easily and performance might even be better with the I/O drive. I saw one(23)for sale on the trader a couple of years ago with a diesel jackshafted to an i/o it looked nice, although I would hate to be standing on the deck if the shaft ever let go and came up through the floor! I guess whatever floats your boat.
