87, 50 hp force outboard motor. First time this has happened. Gave it full throttle, would not plane out. Stopped and idled for a minute, gave throttle again and it took off and plained. worked fine all morning. Afternoon, started again and would not plane or go over 10 mph. Tried several times. Motor off. motor on. New gas & oil. Went to trailor boat in the evening and it took off, planed out and ran fine. Any answers or things to try?

Not real sure on this one. Above are some good things to check. Also, make sure the vent open on the fuel tank and check the fuel line. May be able to watch the Pump Bulb and see if it collapsing when it not running correct.

Had this same problem with my boat but I found that it was my boat weight ratio, when I had a person in the front of the boat it would then plane out fine.....
You might check your controls and also open up your motor and have some one full throttle the engine (while off) and make sure that the throttle is moving the same everytime. Sometimes buildup and residue can form on the throttle not allowing it to open up everytime.

a few ideas- fouled plugs, sticking float valve in carb, bad connection in ignition system, short in ignition for one cylinder. long shot would be a bad rubber insert in prop but only if the motor revs up and does not go anywhere

Check the fuel filter?
