Mash pretty spot on with a local shop I was picking the techs brain also, I'll be checking the fuel filters and fuel pump and go from there. Thank you all for the replays I know I don't have much info for you all to go off

Thank you for the response, I did just pick up the boat about a week before I took it out. The previous owner said he ran it about a month before I purchased the boat. I don't have any background on the boat and the previous owner wasn't very knowledgeable. I do have some pics I'll include and can take more if needed. (Just one of the engine but it's not great ).

Again Thanks for your time!

I'll start by saying this is my first jet and I'm very green to the whole boat scene. I have mechanical background with bikes though so here it goes.

I have a small block Chevy from a 99-2000 corvette(5.7). I took her out and idled around for about an hour due to some speed regulations that day but towards the end of my hour I got to open her all the way up and she pulled up no problem but after about 10 seconds of full throttle she lost power and sputtered then the boat died. Started her back up and she ran ok for a second then some black smoke came out the back and I turned her off, waited a few min and tried again but she wouldn't stay on. Checked the fuel and she had plenty. It is fuel injected if that helps.

Sorry for the rambling but I'm in some serious need of some advice, Thank you in advance
