The high speed jet in the carb must be real clean. It is behind the fuel fitting on the carb bowl. A bread tie with the plastic removed is a good way to clean out that jet without having to remove the carb.

There could be something else going on, but this is a easy, free quick check.

No need to go after the power pack. The ignition system is fine.
You have fuel delivery problems as described by Cofe.

Will the engine run at high speed if you pump the fuel primer bulb?
You may also be idling a little lean and are starving for fuel at throttle up.

What is the history of the boat with you? Did it ever run for you?
