Default 60m mobile operation

YES! You are reading the rules correctly.

There are many 60 meter mobiles running 300 to 400 watts into a 10% efficient
antenna relative to a 1/2 wavelength dipole.

Get on 60, It;s is a great band.

60m operation is limited to 50w pep relative to a

would be much less than 50% efficient, seems it
would it be OK to run an IC-706 at its normal 100
watt output level. Am I reading the rules right?
