The transom mounted pickups might be faster. But on a heavy scarab, you'll never notice.
The transom mounted ones might stay in the water more. But again, on that boat, you'll never notice.
If it was a 100mph cat, then I would change it. But if your current one is in good condition, convenient location, and dosn't cause problems, I dont think it's worth the effort to glass up your hull and put in the new one.
BTW, is that a 377 raised deck scarab with staggered motors?
