:shock: Noooooooo!!!!.... Ok now thats out of the way hows the vacuum on the intakes? and is there a chance that the bi-metal choke has something wrong with it like it might be closing or opening when it should be the other way around.

I'm sure he's quite busy with that awesome 34 he just acquired. Looking at that boat makes you wonder what...

Before tearing into the carbs, grab a timing light and verify ignition advance at 2,000+ RPM. If you don't have at least 20 degrees of advance, the advance weights might be rusted or an advance spring may be broken. Easy fix and might only cost you an hour and a few squirts of oil.
