1981 351 pleasure craft wont start

I have a 1981 ski supreme with the 351 pleasurecraft it will turn over but will not start I'm wondering if anybody out there has any ideas on why it would not start
 
Check for spark, take off the center (main) distributor wire (the coil wire) and hold it (with an insulated pliers) about 1/4" from any ground, then crank it over to look for spark. Only if no spark here, put the coil wire back on and turn on the ignition, then check for power at the small Pos + terminal on the coil with a meter, get a volt reading if you can? Then get back to us.
 
We figured out the problem now its vapor locking when floating but we think is where the other filter is so were going to wrap the line in aluminum foil to see if that solves the problem
