There is no requirement for you to go SLOWER than 6 MPH at any point in time.

I am not sure a boat idling at 8MPH allows you to exceed "Headway" speed. You could still go in and out of gear, maintain control, and stay under 6MPH.

If for some reason the hull design did not allow for steerage below 6MPH you may have an argument.
