Thank you all for the help. I will now be selling my boat......
Jk jk. So I went back to the boat after reading your advice and i was exactly at the full line. It was hard to read since the dipstick tends to drip on the way out and the oil is super clean. But yes, exactly at the top line which was a relief. So im thinking what finally happened was that oil filters took their solid fill and the engines were not completely full to begin with. If it takes one quart to go from empty to full, im thinking I was past halfway or so. Also I was thinking, if someone did overfill by a few ounces, would it be such an issue? Are these engines built to such high tolerances even though they for the normal consumer? You'd think they would be race engines.
Again though, thank you for all the help.

That is exactly what I used. I warmed each engine up for 10 minutes on the hose. Then sucked out as much oil as I could. Then placed a bed pad and a Chinese food tray under the engine and replaced the oil filter. Then I added oil until I reached the low mark on the dip stick. I need to mark half quarts on my extractor.

@twentiesforever, the problem with overfilling on the MR1 (1052 cc) engines is that they tend to spit oil into the $200 air filter. I am not sure if the 1.8s have this issue.

Don't forget to lube the bearing housings. Very important at 10 hours....and don't want to overfill or you could blow out the seal. there are plenty of opinions on how much, depends on your grease gun and how much each squeeze produces.
"
Check for all lose nuts bolts screws on 10 hr then on 100 hr service. I noticed my cover screws lose too....not corroded tho.
Per the intermediate bearing housing be sure you put proper amount of grease for the 10hr. My gun was 24 pumps each for the 1.18. Only 4 pumps each for my 100hr next year."
