Every hull will only run so fast no matter if you put 2000 h.p. in it. I forgot what the technical term for it is called.

the guy I bought my 25 from had a 700hp 572, he said it would do 84 with a little more throttle to go but didnt want to turn the bravo over rpm . not sure if that was a GPS speed or not, my speedo says 78-80 when my gps is only on 73. something

Oil temp sounds a little hi to me. Jeff had some good info there. Mayb a trashed oil pump? U need to figure out what is going on...You may have some predetonation going on too and will soon have a hole in a piston. If you had something happen in the outdrive that was severe enough to kill the engine while underway, trust me, it would be in pieces.
Try a compression check/leakdown test while you are at it.

Reading your post again....Where you said the ear muffs slid down and you heard a knocking sound. If you haven't been around these motors alot, the water that comes through the exhaust does make a slight knocking sound. Good luck
