Ok so I let a friend drive the boat and he hit a sand barge so the min he did i raised the prop and we pushed it back then lowered the prop and started the boat

Now it will go into gear and i can move at very slow speeds but when i try to put any speed to it the boat seems to just rev

so i got hm and took off the prop and it had a piece on the back of it that wasn't attached anymore so i thought i just spun the prop

i got another prop (that doesnt look the exact same but the splines match up) and put it on took the boat out and same thing so now im lost

any ideas
