Marginmn,
I don't believe there is any history to answer that question as of yet since mine is the very 1st retrofit. My out of pocket at the moment is limited to parts I procured myself in order to expedite the install. All other Indy Drive sales have been packaged w/ engines the majority of which have gone in new boats to my knowledge.
Keep in mind Skater / Ilmor are allowing me to apply credit for the used equipment that came off since a racer from Austrailia purchased it before we started the project. Neither are in the used equipment sales business my deal just happened to work out that way from a timing standpoint.
At this point I believe Ilmor is only entertaining current Ilmor Gen3 engine owners that wish to upgrade to the new drives. They are pretty methodical w/ their new product releases & very customer loyal.
My suggestion would be to contact Bob Mason or Ian Hawkins directly at Ilmor. Both have been great to work with.

Tks NASCAT,
I have 625's and the bravo's hold up fine under those. I was just curious what they were charging for the Indy drive in case I run across a set of used 710's or 725's priced right in the future.

Today's progress
Beginning to resemble a boat now! As much as I'd like to take credit for the idea of matching the trim tabs & swim platform to ILMOR's Indy drive color I can't I copied C-Sprays ILMOR/Indy Bat Boat!

The drives look awesome back there. I would love a set of 700's but I"m not sure it would be a great idea with the XR's I have. Like I said though, if a set came up for sale priced right I'd probably jump on them before my brain engaged
