Sounds to me like your low speed adjustment is set to lean. If so the engine may, or may not, run while in nutral but would likely die when the engine is under stress while in gear..
Being your not doing to take the boat back to where the carbs were rebuilt,, and if it were me, I'd crack the low speed adjustments open (counter clock wise) a 1/2 turn and see what that produces. If it seems to help try another 1/2 turn. Btw,, a pop/back fire sound before the engine dies while running at a low speed is usually an indication its running to lean on go go juice..
