Thanks Rob. The more I think about it. The more I'm glad I didn't continue on to la paz 120nm south. I haul tomorrow morning at 930. I'm not sure but I think the hull is cracked just below the prop shaft log. Plus I'm thinking that the shaft could be bent. I wasn't going to file a claim, but now I think I had better.
