I just purchased a 1996 Wellcraft with a 1996 112 Hp. Spl. Motor started and ran great when in the previous owners driveway..Owner said the boat had sat for close to a year without being started. Guess i should have test driven.....Yesterday I took the boat out for the first time and it started up fine, idled the whole time while I parked the truck. Pulled away from the dock and boat wouldn't even get on plane. RPM max out at just under 3grand...still seeming to run good...just NO power. Revs in netural just fine..can take it as high as i want...but under load its a pig. Coming back to the dock it stalled on me and I had a little bit of an issue getting it started. What on earth is going on?? Anyone have an idea? Coil? Bad gas from sitting? It had a 1/4 tank when I got it and i added 6 gallons.
