1999 7.4Gi power loss issue

I have nagging issue with my port motor and hoping someone in here can help, I have a pair of 7.4 Gi's in a 1999 Four Winns 328 Vista. I push the throttles up to get on plane, both motors come up and right at 2k RPM the port motor loses power like its bogging. I can bring both engines back to idle and it will do this over and over. the engine never stalls. I can also hold it about 18-1900ish and it will run forever like that.. as soon as I give it any more load, right at 2k it falls back

Port motor has 43psi at idle and 48psi under full load when this happens. low pressure pump is 7psi. I even swapped them starboard to port to see if there was a volume issue, nope.... filters are new. check valve is clear, in fact ive pounded out the ball in the valve on this side. Tried a new ignition coil. nope again. distributor is brand new along with module and pickup.. I have solid 14.1 voltage going to the coil under load. Ive checked it for codes, nothing.

It almost feels like it may be going into a protection mode? I cant think of anything else that might cause this... Need someone who is familiar with these. Thanks in advance.
 
Yepper, I put about 600mi on it last year, only issue this year was a fuel rail rotted out and I replaced that. after that, I ran her all the way from key harbor up to BB and back. she sat for 2 weeks then this crap... Each engine has a separate tank.

off topic, im docked down in waretown at key harbor.. I usually take a few rides up to toms river each year. my aunt lives in island heights and my father in toms river.. small world...

Thanks man
