is it autolube or are you adding the oil to the fuel (premix)? Plug fouling on premix at low revs is a widely recognised problem - assuming you are adding the right amount of oil (e.g. not adding "a bit for luck" or just guessing) then not sure much can be done to avoid it - other than a blast of power every so often.

Throw a couple buckets in the water to slow the boat down, and up the RPM's to keep the motor working harder so it doesn't foul the plugs.
