Ordinarily I'd welcome the challenge, but if you brought it tomorrow it would be 10-11 days before I'd have time to spend any time with it.   So hopefully they'll figure it out.   

If they do, let me know what it was.  I'm sure curious. 👍

Got it back fro the shop a couple weeks ago and only had the chance to go a couple times. They put a new pick up tube in the tank since thats the only thing that hasnt been replaced.   Same issues, runs great until later in the day, and then doesnt want to start and periodically dies going down the lake. Have to pump the bulb then im good to go for a while.  Guess ill try a new gas cap to see if its a venting issue, i figured it would be tough to fill up with gas if that was the case

Just loosen the gas cap a 1/2 turn. It doesn't have to vent THAT much.  

I doubt that improper venting is the cause.

It has this style cap on it   https://www.overtons.com/perko-angled-gas-fillvent-350390.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjLPTpKjz6QIVj4bACh2piQRpEAQYASABEgLcUPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

After using my boat a lot the last couple weeks i think i have figured it out.  IT only starts acting up when the gas gauge reads 1/2 tank. IF i fill it up it runs perfect until it gets down to a half.  Which my gauge is wrong, so when i fill it up all the way it only read 3/4.   

So it pretty much has to be the pick up hose isnt sitting on the bottom of the tank, I hate having to run around with 45 gallons of gas in a 19ft boat, seems like a lot of extra weight

Slightly different but..... I have an older POLARIS ranger. Would occasionally run like crap, especially when throttled up. Found a crack in the pickup tube. Replaced and good to go again. 
 

just a thought as you mentioned the fuel level making a difference

I had the pick up tube replaced a couple weeks ago, mine is more like a long 3ft hose, and i just dont think it is making its way down to the bottom
