I think I can understand why you have problems following the mfg'ers
recommended procedures. Glastron mfg'er the boat, they did not mfg'er
the engine but they did provided the original owner with the scheduled
list of maintenance items. My guess is the original owner gave you this
info, but you decided it was not important. Since you obviously didn't
realize this here is a link to Volvo recommended maintenance schedule
where they recommend changing your impeller every 2 yrs or 200 hrs,
which ever comes first. No where did they suggest you follow your
expert mechanics suggestion that you don't need to change your impeller
until the water temp went "too" high.
Print this out and follow it, and your boat will spend less time at the
shop and we won't have to hear you win about all of your "bad luck".

Jimbo,
Did you check out Volvo's recommended maintenance schedule? It will
save you a lot of money, and make it much easier than looking over
Glastron recommendation as to when to change the impeller.
