i would check your tank before u put anymore money into it. i found water in my tank last year and went through the same things you did. i thought there was condinsation and water from the ehanol at first, so i had the tank pumped. i then put about a 1/4 tank of fresh fuel in and the boat ran great. then i lerft the plug in the rear sump during a crazy rain storm and found my tank had filled up from the rain water, so i knew there was a hole somewhere. i found a hole underneath theconsole along with hundreds of tiny little pinholes. i would just make sure your not taking in any water into your tank before you do anything else.
