I am maxed out on speed without massive hull mods. You could try it but I think you would need a bevy of spare drives. Theres quite a few of these around if you look hard, not too many 2800's like mine with the low windshield and rails but many of the 30" Rogues have the same hull and many were powered with BBC and Bravos. If I had it to do over again, I would have left it alone and found a 28 something single to go pound around in. The shock value of a strong cruiser goes away after a few years of breaking things.

What is the idle quality with the Torker II? On the Edelbrock site it lists the Torker II's range of 2500-6500 RPM. Does it load up when idling alot (long no-wake zones/rivers)? How is it out of the hole? Since I don't have the measurements for the stock cast manifold, I have a hard time determining what will fit.

The Edelbrock site lists the installation dimensions for each of their manifolds. Here are the A/B measurements that I found:
Torker II - 3.825
RPM Air-Gap - 5.225
Performer RPM - 5.225
Performer 2 - 4.85

The difference between these three are 1.4 inches. Can you get a flame arrester that is shallow but long (14" x 2")?

All the performance issues you mention dont exist with the proper sized and set-up ignition and carb. I really liked the old 780 cfm vacuum secondarys I had on it better than the 750 mech secondarys I have on it now but they were a bear to setup and not didnt have marine throttle shafts. You would have to see and hear it take off to appreciate how well the system works when setup right.
