Diagnosing new problem

[LVDjetskis]

Hey yall, had another weird problem and I was hoping that someone could help me diagnose it. I was out on the water the other day and I noticed that the ski was underpowered to start with. It had trouble getting on plane and overall I could sense something was not right. I then turned around to go back to the dock. On the way back I hit a little section of wake when this really weird noise started to happen. It sounded like 2 things hitting against each other which was not normal. I cut the engine and swam it back to shore to diagnose it today, and when I did I noticed the driveshaft had a little wobble to it. I have a video but my phone won’t let me attach it so I can send it to anyone. My question is if this is normal and if it is any other things that could help me diagnose further? Thanks.

Hmm..
FIRST try to explain what kind of "craft "you are working at!
and No to Question one it should not do that, it is NOT normal...
Question 2, probably couplings are worned out, or engine mounts have "sagged" , and You need to do a alignment.
but it is impossible to help , when no info is given.....
