Go for it! If done right, I think putting the engine in the center of the boat will improve the ride. Not sure if that's accurate with a jackshaft setup, but I will say that the ride on the inboard is pretty damn great. My boat is set up with 2 55 gal fuel tanks under the aft deck on top of each stringer - I imagine you'd have to modify your stringers and do the same thing. Best of luck, looking forward to some pics.
