More spacer isn't necessarily a good thing. I'd go with cstraub's recommendation.
Personally I won't change anything on my intake system on a boat motor unless I'm doing it on a dyno. You never know what changes are a plus and which ones call for a jetting change.
You may want to contact cfm-tech as he has made many pulls with various combinations and can tell you what to look for.

Re: which hvh carb spacer do i need
What about the thermal barrier properties of the phenolic material? Is the transfer of heat in a marine engine compartment not as much of an issue as in automotive? I have used a 1" Mr. Gasket phenolic spacer for many years and thought that the thermal barrier it provided between the intake and carb was probably as much of a gain as the extra air flow and signal it may have provided. I realize and fully agree that they are mainly a tuning tool but what about the heat?? I plan to purchase a new tapered/blended spacer but am still unsure as to which direction to go.....Canton, HVH ,Wilson and others. Any comments? Please!!
