"This problem will not go away

"This problem will not go away. The problem occurs every time that I try to go up on plane. Specifically, when I increase speed quickly to get to plane, the rpm’s get to about 3000 rpm’s and then the engine completely bogs down and looses power. If I hold the throttle there, the engine stays bogged down and does not recover and there is no power at the prop. Then if I bring the throttle back down, the engine will recover and give power again to the prop.

If I bring the boat to 3000 or 3500 rpm’s slowly, I am able to run at 3-3500 rpms.

I have recently had the following done;

1. replaced all fuel filters Twice
2. replaced Anti-siphon valves
3. replace distributor cap
4. checked knock module
5. checked ECM
6. checked base timing
7. Checked advance
8. replace water pump"

I recently went to the yard to show the mechanics and watch them work. They used a Merc computer. I have been told that this would not show everything I need. I am going to go to a crusader yard if I can not figure it out on my own.
