I had a fuel issue before and had all the above is good stuff.

Another thing I want to add is some pickup tubes have checks in them which really can just end up restricting flow.  I think I read you checked your pickup tube which means you can pull em out I would double check they don't have the checks.

Could be crap in tanks
Small lines (I installed larger pickups all the way to carb)
Proper vents

The gauge is great idea it will be a great tool and would be a great way to begin the troubleshooting process that everyone has mentioned so you can figure out which issue you have

Ya, it's been a real pain in the butt. What throws me off is that it's not a consistent problem. Sometimes it's worse than others. It'll happen every time I go out but won't happen every day. Maybe once a trip. Also, I just recently took my pickups out and they don't have checks in them. I did notice that my coil was pretty hot. Does that have any relevance to my problem?

I have seen the issue with the selector T try swapping lines or simply replace it. I think they are about $20


BAM!

So to update you guys on this topic I took my boat out this past weekend after venting both of the tanks and putting a higher rate mech. Fuel pump in. Boat still started to stall on me on my way up to topock. I was able to pedal through it and get it to idle and then full throttle again. This happened to me about 3 times. ( I even opened up my gas cap when it was happening). After it happened for that period of the time I didn't have another problem with it for the rest of the trip. I made it to pirates cove and back no problem. Any ideas? Maybe vapor lock? Not sure where to go from here

Haven't taken the time to read thru all the previous posts. Have you checked your float levels?

I have a pertronix kit with a blaster coil. I don't think I'd be losing spark for only part of the time. Like I said it only did it to me for about 3 times consecutive and then it stopped for the rest of the day
