i traded out jet ski for a bayliner capri and it has a force 70 and it runs and idles fine, except when you try to go it wont get over bout 15 mph. I was wondering if it could be the power pack or something like that. any help will be appreciated.

First thing I'd check is fuel flow. Is the fuel filter clear? Have you checked the Fuel bowl? How about the electrical? Plug wires? Plug condition? You also need to check the compression on the cylinders.
The purchase of a service manual might not be a bad idea if you plan on working on it yourself. Otherwise, a good BOAT mechanic is a good person to know.

had the same thing happen to me last year. your hub could be spun out. i have spun my hub twice. once it wouldn't push the boat at all and once just like you are describing.

Could be a lot of things causing it.. Could be the carbs, gas, water in gas, injectors, stator, powerpacks, ignition coil, cylinder gone down, etc. Etc. Etc. How long has the gas sat in the tank an have you used stabil with the gas? If you just traded an it's done this since you had it, it sounds like it was already a problem..
