Running issues

Ok new to me 74 Pearson 33 with what I can only believe is still the original motor. It has been maintained, some new tubing, fuel tank, carb looks newer, etc. Boat has been in Maryland most if not all its life so Ethanol fuel. She was on the hard for a year at least. Now the question. She idles like a champ, starts right up, and with smooth water runs great under load. If there is wave action power seems to fluctuate and if to rough shuts off. It really seems fuel related to me but before I start a big parts swap project does anybody have an idea of the issue.
