Engine dies only in gear and when it gets up to temp

I haven't been on here in years as life has kept me from the boat, which I'm getting ready to sell. Took it out for one last spin and and had the engine die. This has happened in the past but seems worse.

Engine starts just fine, but once I get under way after 20 min or so it bogs down and dies, unless I put it in neutral where it will keep running. It will start back up immediately unless I put it back in gear. The whole thing seems heat related.

I rebuilt the engine about 100 hours ago.
Tank vent is clear, and above the engine by a couple feet.
Still has the mechanical fuel pump which was also rebuilt.
Carb seems clean.
Filters are fine.
Fresh nonethanol fuel, even added a bit of aviation fuel.
New plugs and coil
has EI ignition with good cap and rotor

I'm stumped
