while on the water my engine started misfiring and I couldn't get faster than 10mph. After pulling cover off enginr I noticed water pump hose broken. I assume engine was flooding with water. replaced hose, engine runs fine but still can't get up yo speed. I'm new with boat motors, but any suggestions on what I need to clean,check?

Sounds like tha motor has overheated, remove the spark plugs and check the compressions(You will need a compression guage) I think that the motor needs a full overhaul.
