I solved the problem.
The fact that my boat was running off a hose in my driveway lead me to believe their is some type of governor/limiter set on the throttle where once you get past about 3000 rpm the engine begins so surge (race up and down) if you try to give it any more throttle. I put my boat in the lake. It started right up. I put it in gear to go slowly through the idle zone. Then I punched it and it took off like a rocket. It runs fine. I don't have a carb issue. The whole thing is based on a safely measure that won't let you rev your throttle above 3000 rpm if the engine is not in gear and not under load. Once I put the boat in the lake it was fine.
