sounds like water might be getting in the airbox somewhere give it a good look over and you will prob. find your problem.

Your problem is probably steam entering the air intake. Happened to my friends TB the other day.

When you hit the water, it hits the hot engine, turns into steam, then gets sucked into the engine, leaving the airbox dry so you can't see what it is. Some people drill holes in the plastic around the gas cap to let the steam rise out, but I don't know if that will work; I don't have a TB.
