Paul, my counter point is that the engine, as Bill Bina put it, was designed to run a certain temp. Presumably that of the existing thermostat. It sounds like the thermostat is close to 150. If you heat the water more than 120-130 there is safety concern regarding scalding.
Changed the stat and you also have to change the high temp switch.
