***Update - Issue Resolved!***

After testing for blockages and finding none, I reluctantly took her in to the shop. It made me feel slightly better when they told me they were just as vexed by the overheating as I was.

They finally ended up replacing the seals in the lower unit. They could not pinpoint which seal went bad, but the end result is that she now runs cool like she's supposed to.

Thanks again for all the suggestions and help on this issue.

You may have clogged water passages in the block & heads, like this;

Where are the clogged water jackets in this pic?
