this, when it would be "only" the money provided it's a reliable solution.
But since my Europa is on the Dutch register, I'd expect considerable paperwork
with the authorities going along with additional costs.
This might be easier than you might think: if I remember correctly, PH-DIY has
this engine/prop combination (2-blade version I think).

How is removing the water thermostat going to help? With CT temps over 85C it's
wide open, isn't it? With CHT's way up high, it is fair to assume that CT temps
are well above 85C. I would not expect you're getting more coolant to flow
by removing the thermostat and don't see how this is going to help you to bring
the CHT's down...
One option you could consider, but only worthwhile looking at if you your
oil-temps
are 'well below' red-line: an oil-water heat exchanger. This would allow
you to use the excess cooling capacity of your oil radiator to bring down CHT
indirectly (additional benefit of this approach a.o. is your oil temp will be
above 50C quicker after startup)
