Is the engine misfiring? What you're describing sounds like there may be a misfire either under full power or possibly even a constant misfire that you only notice when under full power. The usual recomendations apply. Connect a code reader appropriate for your vehicle/vintage and see what the computer says. Take care of any reported problems and see if the engine runs more smoothly.

Does the overdrive increase performance?

Usually, overdrive is like an extra gear to the gearbox, added on at the end. An overdrive will typically let you cruise on flat roads at a slightly lower engine RPM than you'd have on the highest regular gear. A lower rpm(w/o the engine bogging down) will improve your gas mileage. On a stock vehicle, the engine won't have enough torque to go any faster when in overdrive, so it's not a performance booster in terms of speed.

Why does my boat engine hesitate when opening throttle fast from idle?

The gas has to catch up with the sudden influx of air. This is probably a normal condition depending on what type of motor you have and how much it hesitates. If it hesitates for what seems like too long, it could be a number of things. It could be from jets in the carburetor being slightly gummed up. If it has a points system it could be due to the points being out of adjustment. A tune up wouldn't hurt to start with.

A ball is dropped and a ball of similar mass is fired which has greater acceleration?

If we disregard air resistance; they both have identical acceleration under gravity. If we take air resistance into account, then the mass that is fired will be de-accelerating slightly, so if you calculate the overall acceleration it will be slightly lower than the mass that is dropped.
