So after a few times of trial and error with my new to me boat (Overheating Issues) Replaced Thermostat and Impeller.Took it out for a quick test thursday seemed to run well ,took it out tonight 3+ hours on american lake.Twice around the lake at full throttle, alot of stop turn it off sit a bit start it up and hit it hard with no issues.
tops out at about 40ish (seems like it should have a little more but the lake was pretty rough)
All in all feelin pretty good about it,Thinkin i'm about ready for some salt

Well it sounds like you are floating better than me. I have two boats that need a lot of work, and another that the mechanic said fresh water only 

Nice work  Hopefully it does well in the salt.
