Was out on a sunset cruise with the family... and looking for dolphins. Saw one as we entered the channel of the marina.. turned to go see it... low depth alarm went off and I put it in reverse. Immediately dragged my thrust vectors wakes. I was able to pull forward and out of the shallow water ...

It was maybe just in my head, maybe all the extra weight I had on the boat... but it just felt like it handled differently. I'll check them out when I go back out in the morning... wish me luck that they're ok:

Good luck. Post some pics of them when you get to inspect them...
 
The boat was still in the water this morning, but I put my hand in and felt them. Seemed ok. Went out, watched the sunrise with some dolphins then did a couple wakeboarding runs. Life is good!

also, I reached out to will from jetboat pilot. I didn't need them, but their customer service is beyond outstanding. He was ready to help.
