The vents are all clean and the lines are not kinked. I have a 3 tank setup. Each engine has a fuel selector switch and can choose any of the 3 tanks. Each tank has 2 lines going to the 2 selector switches.

I'm thinking of adding some inline booster pumps to get my gph up. I would only need to turn them on when I'm running wide open... any comments or ideas?

When I worked on outboards I always ran a separate carry-on fuel tank to isolate the issue. If you run the separate tank and have no problems then you know the problem is in the fuel lines or tank.
