I don’t know if I’m going crazy or not, one day I take the boat to the dock and my Marina takes it up and then next day the window is bashed out, yesterday my motor was running like a Mercedes and today my prop is bent and it vibrates like hell, I have two questions should I switch marinas and do yaul have any ideas on the prop because the top of it is bent 90 degrees and it is a super expensive stainless steel prop for salt water.

I would ask them to pay for a new prop and move to another marina . You may have a bent prop shaft as well .

Marina should have some video of what happened? I’d move the boat but as others said pursue what you can from them. Approach them with a good attitude and not accusatory despite how tempting. Good luck

Edit - check your insurance policy as well, you’d be out the deductible but they may honor a claim and save you some money to replace.
