I agree with John on the 1/4" if everything's tight with little or no slop. Theoretically, I think you'd want them to run dead straight at full throttle, but even with solid mounts and tight components, there's still gonna be a little slop that's gonna load everything in one direction or the other under load. One other thing I think you'd want to consider is whether you're turning the gearcases in or out. Of course this would make a difference on which way the slop is taken out. It might be worth a little trial and error, depending on setup and tightness.

One inch is far too much. 1/8 to 1/4 inch toe out or in. What determines that is your steering system and prop rotation. You want it to be straight at speed.
