Ouch, that prop is horrible lookin. On the flip side, your spouse more than makes up for it. ;)

Question: when you ran the boat at WOT, what was the load in the boat and what was the max RPM? With...

Glad to see it floating!

So, it isn't back firing at all when warm, only when cold? IS the choke working? Agree though, probably not the choke but certainly wouldn't hurt to double check. And...

Priorities? Yeah, they're in order. ;)

I'm pretty certain the base timing on that thing is 10* BTDC, but do verify.

Don't know what your boating experience is, but be certain to avoid just...

Hesitation (I assume you mean when revving the engine in neutral) can be caused by numerous things, bust most likely is either the accel pump or timing. Since you probably replaced the accel pump in...

Welcome to my world. 3, THREE pairs of glasses; 1 for reading and close up work, another for the computer, and yet another for distance. None are very strong but all are necessary except the distance...

I suggested conservative with the float setting because you don't want to take the thing apart again, and...

If you see fuel coming out of the carb after the fuel pump is shut down you def have a carb problem, likely the float(s). If the float/needle/seat are bad then gas will be coming out of the carb...
