need advice,

I recently got a new boat, 1998 boston whaler rage with 175 hp inboard,

got a few problems, first off , im getting 4200 at wot ant 30 mph, with 400 pds on board , impeller and pump looks great. when i go into reverse, I can get full rmp but from 4000 to 5500 in doesnt come on smooth( hesitation at times),

also at idle, 600 rpm , it overheats, but if i go to 1000 rpm it ok.....is this normal,,,,,

and when i go from wot to neutral it stops , and its a bit hard to restart, but I can get started affter one or two turn of the key.

when idleing at 600 rpm , I hear clunking noise from pump, but at 1000 rpm it goes away... is this normal....

thank you all for any advice
