Sounds like something isnt right with either the needle and seat, spring or lever. Thats where typically the problem is when it wont run on the water, but will on the trailer
Or...head or base gasket is leaking water into the motor when you get some pressure going. long shot, but I wanted to throw it out there.

A Lean Condition
You need to check the Pop-Off of each carb. They need to be within 1 psi of each other. Refer to the HOW-TO section on makeing carburetor
adjustments. PO is very important for a crisp throttle response. Who did the carb re-build? I'd be asking questions. Mikuni BN46's.

could be a bunch of things.
As above... the obvious issue is fuel related. I know you said they were just rebuilt... but I refer you to this thread....
http://www.seadooforum.com/showthread.php?33643-Even-the-Pro-s-screw-up-once-in-a-while.
So... pull the carbs, and check the filters, pop-off, and make sure that every single internal port is open.
BUT............... DO a quick compression check. 9 times out of 10... when we see this problem on this board... the engine needs rebuilt, and the compression is low. 150 psi is perfect... anything under 130 is going to need a rebuild... and anything under 120 will give you the problem you are telling us about.
