TAKE THAT DRIVE DOWN! no joke. if not the dynamic load it took, the vibration was NOT good for it! could be something as small as a seal that will result in big $ later!
sorry dude, sucks!
and yes i have no my fair share of hitting things! it's a sinking feeling...more so when u r sinking!

X dimen -2(i believe?) not sure. Will double check. Don't believe it happened in reverse, the only time I reversed was during docking. Didn't happen lifting it up... I trim all the way up till it stops, then down a nip to take the load off. Not sure how that would even bend only three blades on the trailer without the engine on? ??
EDIT: The prop is labbed.
and yes, i hate those damn mantees in new york. Really killer.

Yikes!! 
That is freakin' weird.
- Bad news: The propshaft broke and spit the prop off.
- Good news: You didn't loose the prop...
- Bad news: ...because the prop shredded it's way into the bottom of your boat.
- Good news: The boat didn't sink.
- Etc....
That is freakin' weird.
