Welcome to Iboats.
Your issue could be caused by allot of things. It would help us if you start out by posting the model number of your engine (begins with AQ), and what you have done so far for diagnosis.
May be; fouled plugs, bad plug wires, cap, rotor, dirty/failing points,fuel supply issue, carb issue, timing issue, mechanical issue, wrong pitch prop, etc.
At the top of this forum there is a section called "Adult's Only". It is not filled with smutty pictures, but instead has helpful diagnostic procedures that will help you.
These two from that thread will most likely set you off in the right direction;
