Are there any alarms sounding? If so that is a sure sign the computer is not allowing the boat to go over a certain. RPM... Otherwise hesitating or choking when you go to give the boat some rpms is usually a fuel starvation issue.

First thing I would do is check your fuel filters. If they are ok I would try to run the boat off of a portable tank. If it runs fine off the tank the you must have an issue further back in the fuel system. Collapsed line, clogged anti siphon valve etc.

If it runs the same on the portable tank then I would take it to a dealer who has the engine diagnostic computer to see if you are getting any codes that would help you trouble shoot further.
