Need help on cruising RPM

Hi,

I hope some people can help me out here.

I have a Pursuit 24 (aprox. 5000 lbs.) walkabout with 2 x 115 HP
Yamaha 4 cycle outboards.
3500 RPM show about 18 kts (GPS).

I am just wondering what a good cruising engine speed would be for
decent engine life. I have heard everything from 3500 to 6000!

Thanks,
