427? Is that were it was docked last summer in Paugus Bay? On google maps it looks close to that location.
Look at the construction of the flotation. The outboards were in the only place they would function with that design. They could not be behind the flotation of the vessel as that would block the water flow to the props. Forward would have been poor, reverse would have been useless.
