2002 Virage - low RPM under load - HELP !!

I am experiencing low RPM while under load. RPM is fine while on the trailer and rev's to redline. Once in the water, engine bogs down and will not rise above 1000-2000 RPM. I have changed spark plugs, flushed fuel filter/water separator and installed new batteries. Ski's both have 70 hrs total (I own two) and both are exhibiting that same symptom.

Did you ever figure this problem out?

Hi,
Just looking for a similar problem to my ski, did you ever figure this out.
Mine is doing the same thing. here is what i think is happening.
I had the heads off mine and installed new o-rings, i think i pinched an o-ring and when the ski in in the water, it pumps water into one of the cylinders and kills one of plugs with water.
After i put it back on the trailer, it straightens out after 10-20 seconds of running and then runs great.
