Default Engine thrust

Hi guys kind of new to the forum there is some pretty wild looking creations that I've noticed so far. I have a curiosity as to why more development isn't being put into using the airplane engines for their intended purpose. Why not put the motor approx 1/3 back on the hull and use the engine thrust angle to control boat pitch angle or hydro planing effects much like a hydroplane boat? I understand the concept of the swamp buggy but by the same token all the weight is being put on the back of the hull which has to be counteracted in order to get the hull running right. Anyone else tinkering with this idea?
