No idea what this truly was, but it was either a Gator or a turtle.
1st pack and initial warning, rudder was bent up, and I headed straight into the embankment, luckily very soft, but it was buried ~ 1 ft.
No damage except the plastic screw. Temp fix with a zip tie as I had no replacement.

3rd pack of batteries, now this happened going ~ 50mph, a bump, a loud noise and utter carnage.

and upon further inspection, the transom is split as well.

The strut is toast as well. Now I know what to work on in the next couple of days...
