"Conventional wisdom" ranges from 2 - 4" to as much as 5 - 7 ".   I've 
had good results with 2 - 5", depending on overall fruit set.   Also a 
good idea, albeit painful, sometimes, to leave only one fruit where two 
emanate from a single source.  Not preaching here, simply relaying my 
experience.  When adequately thinned, Puget Gold has performed 
wonderfully here in coastal downeast Maine, and should do at least as 
well for you in MA.
Wishing you well,
