First, thanks to all for suggestions.
Second, the answer. Problem(s) turned out to be a combination of fuel supply issues. Fuel pump was original (circa 1978) and accordingly weak. Replacement increased average WOT run-time from 2 min to about 4 min (sometimes up to 10 min) but it still bogged out, eventually. Inspected anti-siphon valve to find that it was somewhat obscured by blue-ish strands of something that looked suspiciously like deck carpet fibers, R&R allowed 6-8 min runs at WOT before bog. Finally, I cleared the mesh filter at carb base. It wasn't completely plugged, but it was certainly another restriction in the fuel supply line.
Bottom line: It's all good now, so happy boating and happy Saabing to all.
Bottom-most line: Never forget the KISS rule: Keep It Simple, Stupid!
