Default Loss of Gas Under WOT

I have been having a weird issue the past couple of times on the water. The boat starts just fine and can idle all day. Once I leave the no wake zone, I can go for about 3-4 minutes before the engine dies. I have to use the primer ball to get it going. It starts right back up without any issue. I usually only have to do it once, but yesterday I had to do it 4 times.
The tanks are vented prperly and I don't see anything that would clog it. My google searches make me think that it might be a fuel pump issue.

It is an 85 Merc.

Any suggestions?
