Boat refused to go over 10mph

Took the boat out for the first time this year Sunday. Had run the engine in the yard with no problems prior to. Started under way ok, but could not get over 10mph. You could put the boat in neutral and rpm’s came up fine, but under load it did not want to go.
Cut the trip short 15 miles (1 1/2hours to get there) moved once or twice about 1 mile or so each. Headed home and then it started climbing. I got my rpm’s back. All was good the rest of the way home.

Checked Air filter, and it’s brand new with no blockage
Fuel line was wide open
Only thing I can think of is bad fuel. This is the first year I left the tank full and just added stable instead of empty.

Any ideas what could have been wrong?


PS. Got 1 nice Wolf 15lb (fisrt wolf ever) bunch of cod, all 20-22" (to small) and Red fish all day (sea pearch)
