My LS-8 was set-up the same way from the factory. The front static ports are for the flight instruments.
I used the boom statics for my S80.
They work very well.
There was a comment about dumping ballast and that water messing with the boom static ports. My boom static port system has four static port holes around the circumference of the boom. When I dump water I see no alteration in the display of the S80. I would imagine that is because the water does not wet all of the static ports.
I have not gone to the trouble of equalizing the tubing lengths of the static and pitot systems. I will do that by just coiling the excess pitot tubing behind the panel.

That sound like what I have - and I fly in the east, so we almost never use water ...

I will try using the boom ports - the co location as a prerequisite stopped me from trying.
