Sometimes when I hit the gas from a stand still the prop seems to slip and the motor increases rpm but the boat doesnt want to get going? Can anyone fill me in please?

Indicates a "spun" hub on the prop; mark the hub and the prop, then try it out and see if the marks are still lined up. If not then the hub is slipping and will need to be rehubbed.

Is this a costly repair? Could I do it my self?

No, has to go to a prop repair shop; the hub is pressed in.
