I had the fuel smell in my 1979 22' Revenge. I do not believe you will see a loose clamp. I had hose degradation. In fact the split in the hose was directly under the fill hose right at the edge of the tightened clamp. I would just figure on hose replacement if I was buying the boat.
Hose degradation sample due to ethanol. For the OP this was OEM equipment on my Whaler and caused hesitation and no WOT
New better quality hoses was a inexpensive DIY fix. I cut these open to show what happens inside the fuel line.
