I have a 2001 195 capri 4.3 vortec mercrusier i got 80 hrs on the boat. when you start the boat idle is fine put it in gear still running ok but when you gun it the boat will take off like normal then just instently it stalls. start it up again, sometimes it starts up right away sometimes it takes a minute then it runs fine. It seems like it will only do it when its cold after shutting it off for a while but it usually only does it once then it runs fine. Any help or ideas

The place to start in this kind of situation is the choke.

if you have choke adjust it open a little but on cold start let it run for a minute or two initially then when warm a little more air in ther from opening choke will help. 2001 have a choke?
