if it is not hooking up, and just cavitating you need to first just inspect the pump for debris, damage, ect.... could possibly be the wrong pitch impeller or the pump seal gone bad. just get down there and look around.

as for the bogging i would check the carb for gunk

Jared,
I bet it's your pump seal gone bad. Pretty easy fix. You just have to take the pump out and get another seal.

My guess is either crappy OEM aluminum prop that is beat to crap or like Jawbreaker said it could be the pump seal. Either way you need a good SS prop and scoop grate to improve the hook up.
