My boat seems to be running great but when you get up to WOT the motor begins to surge?? just a little then gets better, then worse, and vise versa ??

....could be a zillion little things adding up.
A COMPLETE tune up would be first in order followed by elimination of fuel restrictions and inadequate timing advance.

I have set the timing on my boat to 6 degrees advanced and it is runnning better, could it be related to fuel flow ?? i notice alot of air bubbles going through my inline fuel filter

Surging is a lean condition. Not enough fuel. I think you're on the right track with the fuel flow questions.

Could definitely be fuel flow. Adj the carb and change the filter.
