1988 Larson 4.3

Had an issue today at the lake, here it goes. Boat was running great. We were tubing. All the gauges showed everything was fine. We stopped to switch people in the tube and i took off it it just cutted out like crazy. Beleive it is a fuel problem. I had to keep moveing the throttle back and forth to keep it running. Would not idle very good. most of the time shut off. I gave i full throttle and would only go to about 3000rpms. Every now and then it would work without me pumping the throttle. It did this to me once before and i thought i was out of gas so i filled it up but it was a pain to get going but started to work. Now it did it again. Any ideas? Thanks John

All the fuel filters ahve been replaced, still did it. Believe i might have found the problem. Took out the pick-up tube in the tank. The long rubber hose that is on the tube was to the bottom of the tube. Looks to me that it should be at the top of the tube and had slid down. It looked to me that it would kink over. As you could feelit do that when you would put ti back in the tank. Adjusted it so the hose would not hit the bottom of the tank, just off the bottom. Thanks for the help. If this dont work I will try something else.
