So, I was thinking I must need have a semi-bad impeller in both motors
at this point. So, I just took apart the lower unit and pulled the
water pump on the cold motor. The impeller looked fine - no wear or
tear and still quite bendy. The inside of the water pump lining
doesn't have any scratches. So now I'm totally out of ideas.

Replace the impellers. even if they look good they may not be. A few years
ago my dad was up in Canada fishing and the engine was running hot. Removed
the leg and "flipped" the impeller over. The engine ran fine the rest of the
trip. The impeller got changed ASAP!
