Yes, I was fortunate enough to come across a first-gen stainless steel Indigo that was unused, for about $100 less than new. Tom actually asked me to send it to him so he could check it to make sure the pitch was correct, which it was.

I put it on when I put my engine back in and splashed the boat.

I managed to get out for a sail only a couple times in the past year, but I did find that I still can't get the RPM up to where it should be, so I'm now suspecting perhaps a minor timing issue, or quite possibly an exhaust restriction.

The engine also was running hotter than it should, which seems to me to corroborate the theory that it's one (or both) of those things.

I've been so busy trying to get my business going, I haven't been to my boat since about January. I never even drained the antifreeze out of the heat exchanger that I put in there when I winterized the engine last year.
