I am glad you have never had to experience plugged sea strainers, after 2 years of running it bit me in the ass and we overheated, the rebuild was a precautionary move as there was nothing wrong with the engines.
But my valve seats still looked brand new and we had a ton of fun with the boat this year!! What is that saying? A picture is worth a thousand words..... Man the bottom gets dirty sitting in the water for 7 days straight boating every day....

I have had clogged strainers, they make this amazing thing called WATER PRESSURE GAUGES.... and WATER TEMP GAUGES.... you should buy some... I live by them.
As far as enjoying the boat? I boated every weekend from second weekend of May in til the last weekend of September, only reason I ended was a trans let go, I could have tossed a spare in and went but decided to look at your buddy's cams and found wear, besides that engines ran fine.
Looking at my videos and pics, seems I use mine gooder then you use yours... I don't just cruise at 4000 all day I actually use WOT ...summer 2016... sure was good to me!!

How long would you let it hang at 6000? Only asking. What overlap you have?

I have to find the cam card, ive held it with the 1050 pulley at 6300 for 10 to 15 minutes at a time quite a few times but cruise at 3800 to 4500 most of the time, was in a 27 foot boat so never held it for hours on end, td shaft rockers, .080 exhaust seat margin to help pull heat out of valves, Smitty
