Safe to say that you will need to swap out that prop.
I hit a sandbar at 23mph a couple of weeks ago. 23 to zero in very short order. Though not visible spinning by hand, the prop was bent and was swapped out for $150. The shaft was out of true by .002" which was within tolerance. Despite that, I still experienced vibration at 10 mph a couple of days ago. Fearing something much more expensive.
I was watching the depth very closely and watching the water for ripples indicating shallow water. It was an area of a river which was very familiar to me as a slalom skier. Checked out satellite photos before making the trips. Found many sandbars on the satellite photos, but not the one that I hit. No more exceptions to my rule of not taking the boat on rivers.
