That is a lot of weight to stop suddenly........but I am surprised it
didn't
launch up the bank. What was the deal with the chain wrapped around the
prop shaft in the one photo?

I think that a boat that was solid fiberglass and through BOLTED hull to
top deck would not have had that much damage at that speed. I am also
surprised that it didn't go up the bank.

The chain, most likely, wrapped around the props as they "free wheeled"
while being towed back to the harbor. The anchor locker was open to the
water and as the boat was being towed, the chain went under the boat until
the props picked it up and wound it around the shaft. ( perhaps )
