Hot engine doesn't like to start

I have a 92 bronco 351... Starts perfect cold, but after it heats up, such as towing the boat to the lake, one has to roll it over and over to get it to start..
Any hints??...

Done a tune-up lately? Are you throwing any codes?

Pull all the codes...KOEO, CM and KOER write each down and post them here. If I were to guess it would be ignition control module or PIP in the distributor, but I would not do anything without getting all of the codes first.

You have a bad ECT sensor... Go ahead and pull Codes first but when you don't get anything but 11 or 111, replace the ECT sensor. Classic symptoms of an ECT sensor stuck "cold". Run a search of this forum for "cold start problems".
