intermittent gremlins in my superjet

hey all. been a while since i have been out riding but my kids are old enough now and we have been going out this summer with the superjet.
every time it goes out i get this random no spark condition. normally it occurs on the water. one time before we even got it off the trailer.

example yesterday we rode for 2 hours and it was solid the whole time. then on the ride back in , just lost spark and stopped in it's tracks.
from then on it would crank , every so often fart and let out some smoke but not run.
once i got home she runs like new again .

last week was out with dj korn and literally less than 5 minutes into the ride same thing. just dead but would crank. after it was up on the trailer for 20 minutes or so, she ran like new.

i have taken apart and cleaned the start stop switch, swapped coils. rebuilt a coil.
i was thinking the cdi next but usually when those die on me , they just die.

set up is all stock electrical , oem components. ( except the plug wires are now taylor spiral core with msd caps)

any other thoughts?

Stator Charging Coil with Layer Short. Starts to fail when warm...
thank you . i was afraid someone would say that. it's so weird though with the intermittent occurances. some times hours and hours in , and other times just minutes but i figured it was either hear or water related. , it's been a long while since john rebuilt this so it's worth a swap
