I just purchased a 1996 bayliner jazz 120xrand it has a mercury sport jet 120 hp in it. Took it to the lake today and runs great but when you are cruising about 20 mph it does fine but when you run wide open it acts like it goes out of water or in neutral. It will start back fine but cant run it wide open.

?Does the engine cut off or does the boat just trim way up and just go no where??

Answer: The boat just revs way up and goes no where??

?Is there any vibration at full throttle??

Answer: When it revs up and doesn?t go anywhere, yes. Then I ease back the throttle and it moves right along at 15-20.

I took this to the shop for inspection, prior to launching, and the gave it the OK. Replaced fluids, tune-up, etc.
