You could definitely push the boat with them. The speed or current limitation would be tough to determine. There will be a point when the lack of propeller diameter limits out increased speed. If you could find out what the biggest diameter propeller was for the outboards and see if you could borrow something comparable to try on your existing engines, that might give you an idea of limitations.
Seems like an expensive experiment. Then there is the question of trim when you remove all that weight from the low center of the boat and add 1,000+ pounds to the transom.
