Help with 1996 sugar sand heat 95xr

I just recently purchased a 1996 sugar sand heat 95xr. First 2 times I took it out seemed like it takes alot of throttle to plane out. Once planed I hit around 30mph and it seemed to be running ok. Now the last time I took it out again alot of throttle to plane but when picking up speed you can feel a slippage, loss of power and high engine rev. When backing off it'll re catch and run fine on slower speeds. Is this a problem with the impeller or just maybe seels? And if so is there any diagrams or anything to help with doing it? Finding any information on this is so hard. Thanks in advance!
