From what your describing it sounds fuel related. If its been sitting awhile do a compression test just to be on the safe side. 454's are known to have valve springs go weak after a period of time. check to make sure you are getting spark at ALL the cylinders and not just at the coil. my dos pennies
Does it have a water seperator? Check for a little water in the float bowls.

Just curious why 454's in particular would have the springs go bad after sitting. Aren't they all made with the same sh!t?
It sounds like water in the fuel to me.. i had the same problem begining of last season. it ran great with no load.. soon as i got on it bla bla poof. i forgot to replace my water seperator.. do you have one?
Sounds identical to a problem I had, but on a 455.
I ended up replacing all fuel lines, carb inlet filter, dumping the cannister filter for a spin-on separator, and new directional valves.
The boat had been garaged for a number of years, so I figured it would be better safe than sorry, and replaced everything.
Haven't had a problem since.
yes i have a water sep. i replaced it the end of last year. the boat sat outside so far this winter. i put it back in garage last weekend
i think im going to check the float bowls and replace the water sep and fuel lines. maybe a new mech fuel pump and i will see where im at from there.
you guys are geat ...
thanks alot
I had a similar problem and it ended up being crap in the tank. It would idle fine but when I went for more it would clog the pick up. I installed 1/2" pick ups and cleaned the tanks. All good now.
my money is on a plugged fuel filter, probably no need to replace the lines,sounds like its starving for gas!
