Check the input and output temps on the cooling hoses routing to and from the water pump. If the input is as cool as I think you are saying, you may have a flow problem (like a stat not opening all the way). Might buy a summer stat to check it with, they're cheap (79C stat# is 110 200 06 15) and buy a IR thermometer -- they're indispensible
