Are you absolutley sure it is not water in the gas? The way your problem progresses makes sense that it could be. Water is heavier than gas so depending on where your pickup is you may be picking up gas only after the boat sits for a while. As you run the boat on the lake the water will start mixing with the gas as the boat moves and the engine will begin to run rough and eventually die. Do you have a fuel water seperator? If not I would get one. This may not be the issue but if you don't have one get one anyway. In my opinion every boat should have one and it should be changed every year.
