I recently purchased a 1983 Outrage that has a 1984 Johnson 150HP. The engine idles great with the muffs on, and pretty good at dock. When I put the engine at load seems like very low RPM. After an hour of running the boat will stall / die. Have to wait an hour or so before it will fire up and I can limp back to the dock. Any suggestions out there?
This my first ever boat, so I have basically no experience on the mechanical aspects. Wondering if the exhaust is clogged, or possibly a fuel delivery problem. The later doesn't make as much sense though as the unit runs great out of the water.
Any help / direction greatly appreciated.

Little update as I've taken it out twice since first posting. Top speed seems to be about 7 knots, this seems under powered to me but I have no other reference to compare it to.....
How does this performance compare to what you experienced during the pre-purchase survey and sea-trial?
