Thoughts?? Took the boat out last weekend and must have hit a stump that was just under the water surface. Good thing is I was in a no wake zone and only at idle speed (3-4mph) when I felt the rear of the boat "bump" something (likely a stump as this particular lake, Lake Oconee in Georgia, has a lot of them) and the rear of the boat was pushed to the left a little bit. Afterwards I noticed the boat would vibrate/shake a little bit, especially noticeable on a quick take-off. Can feel a little vibration at cruising speeds (20-25mph) but not as bad as during quick take-off. Once I loaded it up on the trailer I checked the drive shaft, prop, and rudder and didn't see any dings or "bent areas" anywhere. Bottom of the hull looks fine without any cracks or gelcoat damage. I'm thinking there could very well be a small ding or dent in the prop or a bend in the drive shaft that I just can't see. Suggestions???
Thanks,
Jeff
