I was thinking more along the lines of trying to help a poor cylinder head out that's going to have a hard time keeping the fuel suspended in air as it travels through the port and in return keeping it out of detontion. Right or wrong? Like I said not the expert. Please enlighten me on this theory.

The best way to make use of a cylinder head that is larger then optimal, is to increase the rpm of the engine. To increase the rpm, you're going to need more duration, more duration will move the whole power curve up, a wider lobe sep will flatten the torque curve and make a broader power band. This can help in an application like this, and make it easier to prop the boat for all around performance. Also, the bigger duration cam will effect the idle, a wider lobe sep will help here too.

Let me take a stab - super effecient cylinder heads,chambers and domes, very high compression, and a ton of rpm.
