The motor runs excellent, but kills going into gear, forward or reverse. If I rev it up and dump it in gear quickly, occasionally it will go. and it runs fine until go back to neutral. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Sounds like you are long overdue for a new shift cable. What outdrive?

Alpha 1 I believe. I just bought the boat Thursday, from a place Called Rawhide Ranch, which is a camp for troubled youths. People donate their boats for tax credits, and the young men repair the boats and sell them.
