What about two horizontal pylons, we could call them wings?

One centerline (diesel) engine turning two props.

Naa. Then you get disturbed airflow to the props, need higher landing gear,
and the wings would not keep the spray off the props, if it were to be an
amphibian. With pylons, it is easy to adjust the angle to keep the
driveline nice in line and straight.
