1985 OMC gets no spark..HELP!!!!!

[julio rodriguez]

I have a 1985 Chris Craft Scorpion 210 Bowrider With a 5.0 liter OMC 305 chevy small block that was running great last season. I felt like cocket & tubbs from miami vice on lake michigan. To get it that way I took it to the shop and $800.00 later they replaced the distributor, cap, rotor, points, condensor, plugs, ignition coil and timed it. It gets gas and cranks but won't fire. I tried to trace back the spark and ended up replacing the ignition coil again($25)but that didn't work. I am a new boater but can't sent anymore money at the shop. Any advice.........Thanks.

Check the points...they may have stuck together over the winter and now are no good.
