Has it ever overheated? Could be headgasket.

[thefishingfreak]

if it's got those diaphram fuel pumps they go every two years or so.
can't get enough fuel and starts WHAH-whah-WHAH-whah,,, cutting out.
would make sense,it needs tons of fuel to get up on plane then not as much when your there so it smooths out?

Is he running a built in fuel tank? Could be crud in the fuel tank blocking some lines intermittently, it happened to a buddy of mine.
