Trouble shooting help

Motor: 1989 Johnson 150Hp
Boat: 21ft Privateer w/ cuddy

Scenerio:
Ran the boat 1 hr at 4100 rpms (22kts)
Stopped and fished for 2 hrs
ran a couple of miles to another fihing ground
fished 2 more hours
Ran back to the home port at 4000rpms (19kts)
as soon as we cleared the breakwater and began to slow the boat, the engine raced (as if it were in neutral) then died.
I was able to start it again for a few seconds and it died again.
Now when I try to start the engine there is no attempt to crank, it just clicks.

I know the battery is good.
My guess right now is the starter, but any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I can provide any more detail.
