Is that a fiberglass boat?

Though not an ideal set up I "think" that it could be done. My concern would be the weight of the boat (it looks HEAVY) and the steep deadrise of the transom. Not sure where you are located, but a knowledgable outboard jet dealer could probably give you more information. I'm a little partial but www.trouttandsons.com would be a good place to start.
