I had this exact thing happen about 5 years ago on lake Sunapee.
I was up on two ski's and got close to shore in a quiet bay and dropped one. Moments later another boat (some kid with dad's boat) ran over the ski . Ripped the ski on half and had fiberglass splinters everywhere.
Prop shaft (inboard) was bent and had major vibrations. We offered to tow the boat in but they declined. That's the last of it...
In my mind he's at fault for not looking in the water (the ski's were solid white). I'm sure he was pissed I put it there, but there's nothing I could have done different (besides not dropping it).
