I started the boat Sunday with no problems, ran it for a couple of minutes, the nit cut off, tried to re start it, would act like it wanted to run but wouldn't stay running, I have changed the plugs,fuel filter & gas line running from the gas tank, any suggestions ?

Welcome to iboats.

I suppose at this juncture you need to determine if you're losing spark or if it's a carb problem. Carb problems seem to fade. Ignition problems tend to be instantaneous. Neither are carved in granite.

I would guess it may be the cooling system. Mine did the same thing and it turned out to be the impeller. The engine would not restart until it cooled down and then would cut off again when it started to run hot. Just a guess.
