Unhappy Bad Start

It was nice around noon today so I figured I would take my boat out for the first time of the year to shake it down and get ready for opening day in a couple weeks. I started it on muffs last weekend and blew out the fogging oil since I didn't want to blast that crap into the lake and everything seemed fine. So I backed her into the water and the motor fired right up and I pulled off the trailer and beached her and shut it down. Parked the truck and fired it back up again and idled down the channel to the lake, about 1/8 mile. I got onto the lake and BZZZZZZZZZ!!! SH%#$$^$%^$%^OOT!!!!
I saw that there was no water pressure on the gauge when I started it up, but there was water coming from the pee stream so I figured the gauge was sticking and it would be O.K. when I went above idle. I was wrong. There was still some water coming from the pee-er ( family friendly) but I shut it down immediately. I checked the intakes and they were clean so I took it back to the trailer on using the TM and took it home.

The intakes look clean as far as I can see up in there. I do have an appointment next Friday at the dealer but if I can fix it sooner then it is better. It is a 2006 (on an 07 boat, one year of use) VMax 150 carb. I never once even bumped the motor without water running to it. I am going to go try to blast air backwards down the pee-er ( kind of like that term now) to see if that can clear anything up.
The only thing worse than waiting to be on the water was getting out there for 5 minutes only to turn right back around and come home. Any other suggestions?
