Ouch...that hurts in more ways than one...same happened with an old ex-gf's parents Four Winns...Daddy lent the boat to family and when the ex and I went to take the boat out at Harilla's Landing, the darn thing wouldn't even operate in forward or reverse...I recall about $5k of damage done...hope yours is not as bad and you get it fixed quickly to salvage the rest of the season!
Hopefully, the recommendations above will take care of your skeg.
You may want to consider a "Skeggard" after the repair...they do protect the skeg from minor damage and look pretty nice too. Good luck!
