I like the idea of a line wrap or Maxprop that is not folding correctly. THat will be my first target when I get in the water. Seems more likely than fouled bottom, but we shall see. DaveWhen I went to pick up a donated boat for our local Maritime Museum, I had a similar situation. Engine ran OK, but no go. Backed out of the slip - very slow - put in forward - about 2000 rpm, one knot! Black smoke means motor is laboring. Moved it (slowly) over to the travel lift - they cleaned the bottom and prop - no problem afterward.

Check for a crab pot or anchor line around the prop shaft. Don't ask how I know but there were similar symptoms. Ray Shibe
