A big thank you to boatguya1 who set me in the right direction with his post "that there might be debris in the bypass channel of the the thermostat housing". I found several bits of impeller vanes in the bypass which could only be shifted with a stiff but bendable length of wire.
My engine now runs at 160F and the bogging down has been eliminated.
I know that BIRCH1260 and Iamwildman were also having similar problems and hope they too have found a fix.
Thanks to a great forum.
