Randy,
Weeds could be your problem. Not much you can do about that except clean
them off your outdrive. Spun props or engine couplers give similar symptoms,
except those don't self heal for 2 years.

How would weeds cause that problem? (Not being a smartass...I really
just don't know)

If it's never happened to you, it's hard to explain. Engine rpm's ramp
up, but there is no forward progress because the weeds wrapped around
the prop ruin the foil. Usually, an application of reverse to clear the
weeds works.
