Don't do it...both for your sake, and the boats. The performance will be awful and no one (with a brain)
will ever buy it from you unless you give it away.

The hull was designed for midships weight distribution. What you'll spend on moving the fuel tank,engines,new engine mounts, stern drives and associated carpentry,fiberglassing work, etc will buy you a picnic boat. And when it's over you'll have the equivalent of tits on a snake.
