Just took a look (and feel): tiny chip in the center edge of the skeg and very slight scratching below. Boat drove fine coming home (about 30-minutes), so I'm thinking I'm fine. Agreed?

PS The frustrating part is that had I jumped off the front and pushed back immediately instead of going back to look over, I'm not even sure I would've got the chip as I think it was my weight in the back. Grrr...
