As long as they are shallow, it should be fine. If you go too deep, however, it could make turning the boat very difficult. The only way to know is to finish the boat and test it or, conversely, install the drive train, steering gear and power/control systems and test it with the estimated weight of the topworks added to the boat. If it doesn't want to turn, sand off a bit and try again until it handles the way you want.
