Was anyone hurt? Hope not.

Most vibration issues are bent blades, bent shafts
But knowingly straying outside the bouys might make it hard to claim

100% agree. My bet is your prop is dinged. I hit mud and got a tiny chip on my SS prop, very tiny, and I felt it on the return to the dock. Amazed me how a tiny chip can be felt at he steering wheel.
