Default Carberooter?

I have a problem with my 5.7 alpha 1, I believe the issue is the carb. I recently purchased the boat and the previous owner did state that he thought the carb needed to be rebuilt.
The symptoms are at idle, the motor runs very rough, the RPMs vary from about 800 RPM up to 1300 RPM. The motor also starts to chug and burn oil when it gets down at the 800 RPM. I have a few things that I suspect but am looking for input.

What I suspect
A: Carb Base Gasket. I will test this tonight by spraying carb cleaner around the area - with the motor running.
B: Low Idle Jet
C: PCV Valve stuck

above 1500 RPM it runs strong & smooth

Thanks in advance...
