Volvo Penta 4.3 GXI-P, 2011

Engine start running rough the last time I was at the lake. When I shut it off it took 5-10 minutes to get it restarted and was running even worse. Made it to the launch ramp and it has not run since. Compression is 170-180 on all 6 cylinders, low pressure fuel pump is 11 psi and high pressure is 62 psi with plenty of fuel volume. I have drained tank and put in new fuel and a new fuel filter. Replaced spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor and checked all plug wires-no cracks or burn spots and each has around 1 kv resistance. The timing mark and distributor line up on TDC. I have good blue spark and good fresh fuel with adequate pressure but the engine will not start. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
