Slight vibration in 88 Comp

[Sweaver]

Yesterday while on the river, I just got the rope tight for my tubers when I cut the wheel to the left maybe have way and gunned the engine to 3/4. Before I could get on plane there was a bang, like I hit a stump, then there was some noticeable vibration. The problem is that I don't see any damage underneath on the rudder or prop.

Any advice is appreciated, I just don't want a small problem now to cause long term problem down the road.

Sounds like something is bent. Inboards are not forgiving even a slight bend will vibrate. I would start with the prop you may have bent one of the blades out of pitch. You may have to have a prop shop check it.
