Are you yelling to be heard above the engine noise??

No engine is not very loud only when at high rpms.

My first guess would be that you hit something. Is the prop bent? Any
visible damage to the outdrive? There are lots of things that *could*
break, and perhaps a few of the knowledgeable folks here can give you some
ideas of what to check.

The comment about 'yelling' had to do with your use of all caps, which is
frowned upon.
