Possibly, but what you want to look at is the ring around the impeller. That's your wear ring. Are there deep grooves in it? The impeller not chewed up or missing any pieces?
That ring around the impeller is what compresses the water giving you thrust. If the tolerance between the two surfaces is to big, you will cavitate.

yes it has twin motors but only one does it. I will check that tomorrow when i get up. Will i be able to tell if it is bad by looking at it? how about you give me a list of things it could be that way i can check it all out at once instead of looking at something and then coming back in to the computer. Don't take that wrong i am willing to take whatever help i can get i just thought that would be the easiest way. and really thanks for all your help you have saved me a couple hundred dollars so far because i had no idea of what could cause it so i would have just started replacing it part by part until it stopped. so thanks a bunch

Visually inspect the ride plate under the boat. It has to be sealed to the hull.
The carbon seal is different. Pull the boot back from the plate and put a little bit of waterproof grease in between the two surfaces. Drop it back in the water. The grease with provide a temporary seal. You should be able to see if there is a difference in thrust.

sucking air
1. ride shoe not sealed
2. driveline seals bad (those metal things that are in the bilge right where the driveshaft goes through.)
cavitation
1. impellers worn (and they may not look bad, but still are) i just had mine redone by IMPROS, i could tell a HUGE difference before and after. they could be out of balance too.
2. wear rings bad and/or spining in the housing if the housing is worn
the only thing that is "plugged" are you drain plugs. one on each side of the back of the boat near the metal plates.
