hull-transom water pickups
I have low water pickups on a imco lower, would a hull water pickup be a good option on a 27 checkmate, I have had problems in the past with water pumps getting clogged

Your IMCO lowers are notorious for flowing lots of water. Which is good! What you need is sea-strainers to keep the junk out of your raw water pumps and motors.
Thru-hull pickups will generally slow the boat down some, and require more work in installation and re-plumbing than just getting some good strainers.
