Im stubborn and have everythin to run on gas 118 fuel is 8 bucks a gallon so cost not much diff how bout using center carb for just air? the way i looked at it if i had two 1050s on a 14 71 that be better?

I have never seen any boat engine run 3 carbs and that includes 600ci + stuff. Like was said, you have way too much carb, especially for a 427.

you need to go to 2 carbs,and bump the timing up to 34 deg.with the right tune up,you can make good power with race gas.

I saw a boat in Key West in 1995 with 3 dominators with huge Wipples, 46' Skater with Arnesons, prolly had some huge cubic inch motors, so it has been done. 427 cubic inches you might try triple 600 cfm carbs.
