An in-hull will work well in the proper location -- there was a recent thread about it here, for a 219FS:

If you can access the location on the step where KW normally installs through-hulls (small spot without coring) that is the same place to install an in-hull unit.

The spot is roughly under the console. You'll see a depression where the coring is missing. [links]
Thru-hull transducers are mounted through a hole drilled in the bottom of the boat and protrude directly into the water. This type of transducer generally provides the best performance. [links]
A transom mount transducer is installed on the boat's transom, directly in the water and typically sticking a little below the hull.
With an in-hull transducer, the signal is transmitted and received through the hull of the boat. As a result, there is considerable loss of sonar performance depending on the hull type. here
Transom mount transducers are recommended for planing hulls of less than 27 feet (8 meters), such as personal watercraft and powerboats with outboard, inboard-outboard and jet drives. They are not recommended for large or twin screw inboard boats because aerated water from the propeller reduces performance. They are also not recommended for operation at very high speeds.
Fiberglass hulls are often reinforced in places for added strength. These cored areas contain balsa wood or structural foam, which are poor sound conductors. The transducer will need to be located where the fiberglass is solid and there are no air bubbles trapped in the fiberglass resin. You'll also want to make sure that there is no coring, flotation material, or dead air space sandwiched between the inside skin and the outer skin of the hull. here
Thru-hulls are recommended for displacement hulls and boats with straight-shaft inboard engines. You'll also need a fairing block that allows the transducer to be mounted properly. Thru-hull transducers must be installed with a fairing to ensure proper alignment and a secure fit. [links]
I don't have pictures, but I have SI xducer mounted where yours is. I don't get or expect readings above 5 MPH from that xducer. I also have two xducers mounted to the left of my main motor (maybe 1/2 way to the side of the boat) that give me high speed readings. here
Thank you very much for your posts and recommendations! Quite honestly i was surprised as any post in the past became a bashing post on ones inability. So i thank you for your honest and great advice. It has been relocated to right behind the bunk, hopefully this rectifies the situation.

I need to mount a new transducer and I would like use a stern saver. Is there enough room right next to the livewell intake that wont cause interference? I will most likely remove the speedometer sensor as it no longer works.
My buddy also had the same problem as you. He has no room on the step down so his is mounted just like yours, inline with the bunk. What he did was move his winch post back one hole and that put the back of the boat even with the back bunk. He was then able to lower ducer. Heres a pic of mine. You can see you can move post one hole back
Here's mine, I don't lose bottom. I had a dealer install mine because I had a bird ducer that was a pain in the arse. When I upgraded to Garmin the dealer installed.
