What could be causing popping noise when running boat?

This last summer I noticed a popping noise in the engine compartment of my boat when running at full throttle. It like it was backfiring and would stop when running at lower RPMS. I had not noticed this before. I did put a hydrofoil on but I'm not sure if that could be causing me to run at higher RPMs now or if it is another problem.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?
