After reading everyone’s post (Which has been great input from all) I would like to ask this question on this topic of high hrs ran slow vs low hrs ran at higher speed.
How does the transmission play apart in making one’s mind up in choosing which powerplant to go with?
There is wear and tear on the trans as well (As long as the vessels are not direct drive)
So which transmission has the less amount of wear and tear? The one that has high hrs but ran slow, or the one with lower hrs ran at higher speed?
Just a thought?
Cheers.

At some point this just becomes mental masturbation.
Short of taking the transmissions apart there is no real way to tell there condition.
Hours on the engines could mean very little as to how the transmission have been treated.
