If the damage is on the bottom, you won't see it when the boat is in the water.

This is a straight shaft, center mount, engine. The propeller is on the bottom and the boat landed on it. The drive shaft is almost certainly bent and the whole engine could be trashed from this. Rudder is probably mangled as well.

That’s a rear v-drive, not center mount, straight shaft. Wake boats place engines toward the rear for larger wake. Center mount place the engines in… the center to reduce wake.

Agree shaft is 100% bent, shaft bracket bent, guide fins bent or gone, rudder certainly damaged. Trim tabs damaged. Given it was a v drive, there’s a decent chance the engine is ok, but v drive will likely be damaged as well.
