Sounds like you have flogged the fuel system pretty hard. However, the ultimate verification of your work would be to have somebody drive the boat while you take a pump oiler/ squirt can full of two stroke mix and shoot some down the throats of the carb, when the problem is occurring. If the speed picks up, you’d have a fuel issue. If it actually slows down, then your fuel system is probably okay. I am not exactly sure about the configuration of a ’67 80 but I seem to remember it has a belt driven mag, which rotates when advanced. Do you have a plug wire arcing out at full advance? Something like that?
Long live American manufacturing!
