You can buy a garden hose hookup for your inboard to run at your house. If it's a 4 or 6 cylinder just do the standard stuff - new spark plugs & wires, check the points, spray some carb cleaner. While it running look for loose bolts, leaks(fuel & water) and anything out of the ordinary. also replace the fuel filter and maybe add some gas additive if the gas has been stored without stabilizer.
Total cost should be less than $100 and it sounds like it should be done to eliminate those parts as potential problems.
Check the charge on your battery -- make sure your starter cables and battery terminals are clean and tight.
Sometime if you run you engine in the dark you can see shorts arcing acrossed and maybe causing rough running.
Good luck -- Hope to see you on the water and see someone who knows there boat is dependable because they did their workhome.
