Yeah, sure sounds like an ignition problem…I’m looking at your second picture but wondering where are the plug wires? That engine looks to be a how hour 10hp for sure. The ignition looks freshly repaired, but that doesn’t mean it is functioning properly. I guess I would put two of those inline neon testers in the plug leads and go for another boat ride after dark.. In the dark, you may be able to see/hear a plug wire arcing also. Hopefully you can pinpoint the problem cylinder to help find the actual problem…Have you tried different plugs, sure don’t want to overlook the simple stuff…
It is possible that the engine is dropping a cylinder for reasons other than an ignition problem, but not real likely…
