Funny you say that about the 6, I feel the same way. It can sit in the cellar for a year without use, I clamp it on the transom and a few pulls and it's running. Reminds me of my youth every time I run it.
Post a picture of your CVX sometime, love those boats. I considered a Pantera a few years ago with a pair of 225 2-strokes on it, another example of a boat better off running 2-strokes.
I don't know the answer to that longevity test you suggest. For a commercial operator it would be important, for a northeast US recreational boater I'm not sure it would matter, with the few hours most of us put on our boats in a season.
