Default Following Sea Motion Causes Engine to Nearly Die

With each "push" of a choppy following sea, the Chevy V6 in my 22'
Grady White I/O seems to want to die. This also happens when the
boat gets into any kind of a repetitive wave pattern. It is as if
something cuts off the fuel supply as the boat surges forward, and
restores it as it goes up the crest of the next wave. (Something in
the fuel tank perhaps?)
If it isn't something in the tank, where else would I look? What-
ever, it is definitely a function of up-and-down hull motion.
Your help is much appreciated! Thank you!
Frank
