Default ran my boat on land this weekend in the dark. HELP!!!!

I have a 1973 Tri sonic. Inboard/outdrive. 140 mercruiser.
We were maneuvering through the lake in the dark this weekend and hit a
low area. The hull is not damaged at all, but it tore the heck out of
my propeller. (a couple of little chunks missing and its bent on the
edges). Now, when I accelerate in the water, the engine revs up well
but it doesn't want to move the boat well. I have a hard time getting
up to speed. (Also alittle vibration that comes and goes)
My question is, Did my engine coupler slip in the rubber or my
propeller slip in the rubber? Which is more likely? The coupler is new.
