I haven't noticed this issue previous times I've had my boat out.

However...

Last time we took the boat out, the lake was way up and lots of logs floating, so we mostly just idled around and I stayed well below half throttle.

On the way back to the boat dock it was a pain in the butt to get to the dock because the idle was really really high and it was slamming in and out of gear because of that. I'm assuming that was because of the very high idle. I thought on it, and I think the idle may have been due to carbon build up due to puttering around the lake for several hours.

So today when I took it out, I made sure to blow it out really well and we stretched its legs for a couple nice jaunts across the lake.

I noticed when I launched from a standstill to full throttle, it would accelerate, then audibly bog, then slowly come out of the bog as I got up on plane.

Is this normal?

Or do I have some carb adjustment to do?
