I just bought this boat for a steal! Took it out on her maddien voyage and she seemed to run really good. However, twice when she was full board she just slowed down lost power. Like I was taking off the gas really slow, and then she would die. Started her back up and took off couple minutes later it happend again. She was not overheating or anything that I could see on the gauges. Could this be a fuel Filter problem? Please help with any advice.

yes, this is symptomatic of restricted fuel flow. plugged tank vent, filters, lines.
