Default Running Issue

Boat starts runs fine. Idle out of canal fine gets on plane runs great. Run along 3800 rpm perfect. As soon as I let off at all starts breaking up. Then continues the bog worse and worse. At idle barely run. Leave it for 20 mins starts up runs fine again for a while then same issue. Changed seperator and in-line filter no better. Holley 750 double pumper I知 thinking loading up?

Have you checked your spark plugs to see if you are getting excess fuel? Could also be you coil over heating, had that on my boat, did the exact same thing.

I have the Mallory electronic ignition and a super stock coil. I looked it up, the ignition requires min 1.5ohm. The super stock is 1.4ohm. I ordered a new coil fingers crossed it痴 overheating. Boat runs absolutely perfect then acts up. Limped to trailer ramp on 4cylinders lol. Got home started it to flush it ran perfect.

May not be the issue but a very similar thing happens when the fuel tank vent is blocked .
To eliminate that possibility loosen off the fill cap and try running it as you do when the problem presents itself.

Thats exactly what I was going to do next time out. After it acted up, I opened cap tried listening for sucking air but was windy. Weird bc cruised at 3400rpm for a couple miles no issues. Soon as I pulled back just 200rpm it started acting up and got worse.
