Wondered if anyone had any advice. I have a 87 searay seville, inboard outboard, GM 4 cylinder, 165 alpha one. I was having a hard time getting the boat to plane out, then got it figured out. It was running pretty well, then I slowed down, it wanted and did stall. It would only run for a few seconds at a time. I could give the enging more gas, rev it up alittle, and as soon as I would put it in gear it would die. We towed it in to the dock, waited a couple of hours, started it up like there was nothing wrong. We took it out again, ran it around slowly for awhile, started to give it alittle gas and it started acting like it did not want to plane or run real strong. Does anyone have an idea what to look for. I checked the closed system coolant level, oil level and the tank was full. Help please.

Thanks Tony
