Thermostats often get blamed for high engine temperatures. Probably the only time they are to blame is when they stick closed or only partially open. There is a brand of thermostats that are designed to stay open when they fail. I have one in my 55 Clipper. I think they only come in 180F and higher ratings.

You most likely have other things causing your engine running "normal to hot". Does it run normal when in motion and then goes to hot when idling for a few minutes?
