This motor used to cut out on when you were going full throttle it would cut off and just idle. I brought it in to get fixed and they rebuilt both carbs on it. I took it out this weekend and it seemed to run better. When I was by myself it ran great. My dad jumped in, he is pretty big over 300. Anyway the motor bogged a little bit then took off and ran great. I bet we were running close to full throttle for about 5 minutes. Then I slowed down and tried to power it back up and it wouldn't run again. It just didn't have any power.

While we were going I pushed the choke in and the boat would run full out great while the choke was pushed in but it would bog down when I released the choke.

Then when my dad got out of the boat it would run fine with just me in the boat. I have a call into the guy that rebuilt the carbs but I wanted to try to get some insight here.

THe motor is mounted on a Lowe 1752 duck boat.
