It would help if you told us the prop sizes, material etc and the boat you have and what RPM you were achieving previous to the problem.

That said, are the wires on the right plugs and are all cylinders firing? What is the cylinder compression ( should be all about equal)? Is the boat's bottom clean?

Get back to us.
