4JH2 Spring Commissioning

Love my 4JH...never an issue...until now. As I do every year...oil and filters were changed in the fall days before hauling. Launched two weeks ago and she fired right up. Took our first extended cruise Saturday...she wouldn't go above 2500 RPM and blew billows of black smoke. I backed off and returned to the dock.
Immediately checked the oil and it was low...below the lower mark on the stick. Replaced the stick and pulled it again and it read 3/4 full.
Went back out and she behaved perfectly. Throttled up to 3400 with no issue and no smoke.
Any clues?
