Default 23 Savage w jackshaft I/O???

Looking at some of the 23 Savage I/Bs like Zendora and having ridden in a friends Savage I/B many years ago in Stuart, I love the layout - but I have a 23 Sceptre I/O...

Apparently only one was built as a jackshaft configuration (I/O with engine under the console); I wonder if it did not work out well or just did not have a market??? Would it work well? The engine would end up being about at the CG and the fuel aft - not the best plan, but that is the I/B configuration already.

All I would need is a console and a Bravo jackshaft kit. I have to buy a fuel tank anyways so 2 smaller ones wouldn't be a big deal.
I probably can't afford the additional 5-8k to do it and probably don't have time, but I already have a disassembled boat ...
