Something else you might consider is the addition of an AquaDrive to your drivelines.
Very simply, the propeller shaft is isolated from the engine movements and is connected via a universal joint which allows the engine to (if it wants) jump up & down & sideways on softer isolation mounts. The boat around it feels nothing when set up properly.

BTW, 1050 HP engines would seem to be insufficient for the speeds you are anticipating, IMHO.
