If it is what it sounds like at the 1:15 mark, with the wake of the boat hitting the prop, that's going to be an expensive little day on the water for Popeye, the Sailing Karen. Does hitting a boat wake (not just 'spray') meet the prop strike criteria of the Lycoming SB? "Sudden RPM drop on impact to water, tall grass, or similar yielding medium where propeller damage does not usually occur"

What's a teardown and IRAN cost for an IO-540 these days?
