if the engine seems to run ok at all rpm's, the first place to look is at the bottom of your boat , check for barnicle growth or any kind of fouling.make sure its running on both cylinders, is compression good,100 psi. if everything checks out look at prop.

get another propeller to try
it has a rubber bush in it which sometimes slip ( like a clutch in a car ) when the engine is under maximum load
