I`m not sure there are too many days out there on Lake Michigan where the boat stays level at any degree. You might need to build a carb gyroscope.

I'll bet the engineer didn't tell you that bolting your carbs down with l-19 bolts is worth 50hp...

And it just happens to be that 7* is perfect angle of trust for my setup. Well that don't work out the best for the float levels. Believe me put angle finder on a float bowl and see how much 7* lowers the low sides of the bowls. Maybe it wont make much difference, but I bought 6 two inch carb spacers and am milling them at 7* so when I m at WOT or idle my carbs will be flat level & can set float levels right on. Also the stock car boys have special floats for going around left turns all there lives. They are wedged on the G force side. I was thinking of installing these also, for rough waters running, getting on plane etc.... What do you guys think??????
turning the carbs sideways was a trick drag racers cam up with years ago, when using center hung floats they are less effected by up and down motion(wheel stands, bouncing around coming down) so on a boat they help in this way to...now the angle deal I have seen spacers angle milled in inboards for this...I doubt will help much in app like this but who knows...

If the straight up and downs vent tubes could always extend them up or do the rubber tube deal...to make sure no fuel comes out of the vents into the throttle bores.

What's nice about them is you can raise the float level to the top of the sight glass, which is towards the transom of the boat. With the stock style bowls you'll be spilling fuel way before getting them that high. With the stock bowls I'd set them to where they are level with the bottom of the float hole, install the float screw, then raise the float another 1/2-3/4 turn. Either way, I've never had an issue float level related.
Also, in your new found carburetor site, there are cool vent tube and vent tube mods that may help.

Quick Fuel makes 1050 marine carburetor with J tubes 2 circuit metering 1.710 venturi M-4710 (can that one be used side by side)
Then there`s a street strip carb, fx4700
Drag FX 4710
FX 4710-2 .. 2x4.. that`s the side by side application?

so many choices..I wish someone would answer the phone over there.

They are probably at PRI. That is this week. Lots of other shops close down for this also.

They must be a smaller company than I thought.

Check out these bad boys:
