454 Mercruiser will not hot start

PLEASE HELP !! I Have a 1994 219 Persuader, Starts fine on cold start but after running her for awhile she will not re-start. She wants to, but will not. I've left the blower on, opened the hatch to cool of the engine compartment, but she still will not start. Vapor Lock ?? Coil, Distributor Cap, Rotor ?? Does anyone know how or what the issue is and how to correct it?? Thank you in advance
 
Investigate Mercury Marine Service Bulletin concerning vapor lock and 'winter grade' fuels. Alcohol, good in some ways (Southern Comfort), bad in others...
 
Gave up on it last year, dry docked it. Have a gearhead friend look at it and advised the block was cracked and mickey mouse repaired and concealed upon my purchase. Now im out trying to find a refurbished block to try and get it running. So pissed! looking for a decent place to get a refurbished block. ANY suggestions would be appreciated.

What model 454 exactly do you have? There were many iterations.....I'm guessing a 330 Hp carb?
