Default engine trouble

hey guys i just bought a new (used) boat. it has a 25 hp johnson sea horse outboard. im new to this whole thing. it is my first boat. i am having trouble with the engine running wide open as soon as i crank it. it is in neutral and the throttle isnt hung. am i mixing my gas wrong? it has a 50 to 1 mixture. so i put 2 gallons and about 8 oz of oil in it. did i mix it wrong or is something else going on?
