Thanks for the replies guys....Found some of the NGK's local and went with those.
Thanks for the gapping tip also Ray. I'm hoping all i have is a fouled or bad plug. Started acting like I got a hold of some bad gas or had some water (would clear up once the motor would build heat or run through a lil bit of fuel) Now its just a soild miss and does'nt clear up.

Thanks again guys.

My boat had 75 hours out of 160 total hours, and they felt a little notchy when throttling, and where not even at the sticks for rpms...

swapped new plugs, and both motors came alive, even at the sticks/tacks too. really helped the boat. 7 bucks a peace is what i paid.
