Bought the boat in the Spring, worked great all summer. The last day we took it out we had been driving around for awhile. We were moving along and I throttled down quickly and it died and wouldn't start back up. The starter was cranking but wouldn't turn over. The previous owner put a new distributor and Flame Thrower ignition coil. I'm not getting a spark at the plugs. I've tested the ignition coil and shows the proper ohms, it's spraying gas in the carb, battery is good, it's in neutral. I'm learning to be a mechanic as I go. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Check the points and rotor. If the screw that adjusts the points gets loose, they get far apart and no spark.
