Hi, I'm new. And I already need help!

Hi all, I'm new here. Because I just bought a 99 Chris Craft 23' Deck Boat. It's the first boat I've owned since around 2000. And that was a cheap little outboard ski boat that I paid $1200 for, splitting it with a college roommate. This is quite the step up. On the test ride, it idled a little rough and was a little rough getting up to speed and I said "No problem, I'll have a mechanic look it over." I didn't. I took it out on the water and had a great couple of hours. No issues starting, idling, or going. Today, it dies after just a few seconds. At speed, it dies even more quickly. I went down to the boat and took this video:




Now it won't even start. On initial surface inspection, there was a wire disconnected and what appears to be a fuel line (from the words "FUEL LINE" written on it) that was disconnected from what looks to me to be a crankcase.

Anyone have any ideas, and also on what model this is?

Thanks!
Andy
