I would like to hear from anyone who has a Donzi Sweet Sixteen with a OMC Cobra outdrive, this boat has a 4.3 V6 that is not going into neutral or reverse part of the time. Can anyone help me on this or give me suggestions. Also I need help on why it does not want to keep running in reverse. It seems to be running on just three cylinders and stalls all the time. Also I would like to know how big a gas tank is in the Sweet Sixteen boat.

You probably need a new shift cable from the engine to the outdrive. Then adjust all of the shift linkages. That should solve the stalling problem as well. Running on 3 cyl is your shift interupter not working properly and is probably tied to the no reverse/neutral problem. Mine had a severely corroded cable to the drive and did all you describe.
Don't remember what size tank it has.
