I haven't found too many with the XL shaft Ferm. That is why I would go twin 280's with the 20" legs on a bracket. Go with the sporty's and offshore mids so you could put the pump in the boat where it belongs. Put a couple Yamaha drag 24's on it and a little 100 shot of nitrous. It would be peppy. Finding someone with experience in the setup might be tricky. Trolling for Mahi off the Spacecoast would be damn interesting too.
