180f on the guage. It will be higher than that where unmeasured and boil off water. This number gives you room for hard long runs without running into 260f which is the highest acceptable for short periods. Starting with a cruise temp of 212f doesn't leave a lot of room for hard running. My .02 on the subject.
BTW my gauge reads about 150f on a long cruise and no more than 180f after a 50 mile hard run. No condensation issues at all although I can tell it is close by.
