I have a 96' 75hp Force Engine. It starts and idles like a dream. When I punch it full throttle to take off it sputter a little. The RPM's go up and the boat does move, but it sounds like it is missing. I changed the plugs and also changed the fuel filter.

Where do I go from here or what do I check next?

This sounds like one of two things. If, when it stops spluttering, it reaches full revs and speed then it is the carb settings. If it just splutters and never quite gets there then fuel starvation is the probable culprit.

Having checked the carb settings (There is a good sticky on this I think) and ruled out fuel starvation then the next port of call is the timing.

Keep us posted.
