Default Could this be a fuel pump problem?

I finally got to take the boat out I have been working on. Had problems getting it started, wasn't getting any fuel to carb. 1 or 3. Clean the carb's and finnaly got the boat started. When running it across the water, it was running very bad, couldn't get it up to running speed, without it falling on it's face, or barely running like it was starving for gas. Had the person with me I purchased the boat from and we played around with the timing and fuel. He had me drive the boat while he was fooling with the engine. He started pumping the bulb while we increased the RPM and the boat started running really good. He said he thought it was in the fuel pump, as long as he was keeping pressure on the bulb the boat ran fine. Does this issue sound like a fuel pump problem. All carb's have been cleaned, new fuel line, tank and bulb.
