Well i just got back from a week vacation, decided i would take out my bass boat w/ an 86 johnson 150gt, launched it, turned the motor on went out to my normal spot, anchored, fished for bout and hour and decided to relocate, i turned the motor on and saw alot of oil/gas in the water, thought it was the normal 2 stroke excess, drove 1 min to a new spot, fished there for another hr, then got ready to leave heading up river, but this time I full throttled it and it felt as if it was missfiring, NO POWER. so i kept on for about 1min and then turned it off, i tried to restart it, but it wouldnt, so i popped the cowl and saw that i had a cracked fuel line, the line was in 1/2. so i held it to the other end and it fired right up. i ended up getting towed back to the dock, did i damage the motor while i was "missfiring"(starving motor of gas) for that minute or so?

Probably not, that is a very forgiving motor. You might want to consider changing out all the fuel lines. The newer ones are better.
