Surface Drives

Why are surface drives (like Arneson) not used on fishing boats (like a Bertram)? I can see the obvious problem of line cut-offs, but that's their (to a lesser level) on inboard shafts as well. A swim platform would go a long way to cover the drives and would be a must, but the performance gains look good on paper, what am I missing?
