I won't be of much help for the hands-on NA support you need, but i'd have a very practical heads up from a (smaller, lighter) proto i did in an outboard-forward configuration:
make sure to keep a bit of lateral guidance aft (immersed sides+hard chine, fins, whatever).
Else , and especially if you make the rear longer and move loads further aft, when decelerating, the CG will want to pivot around the massive drag of the outboard leg + prop and stuffed bow. I was rather surprised to get ejected in a spontaneous ends swap (the full 180°) ... and i was only going 12 knots
Good learning but that wouldn't have been so fun further out at sea.
