Boat has been sitting for 4 years following being flooded.

New starter and solenoid.
New electric ignition.
Trans oil sealed - clean
Engine oil sealed - clean

Engine starts and revs fine. When you go to shift to either forward or reverse it bogs down and dies almost instantly. What could be causing this?

Most likely the clutch plates are rusted together. Pull the transmission and have it rebuilt.
