Bought a used 25 horse 2 yrs ago. Hit some rocks in the shallows. Now motor revs aplenty but barely moves the boat in any direction. Changed slightly bent shear-pin with no improvement.

Yea, take it in. Local prop shop here charged me 35 bucks to install new hub and strighten out the blades. (Didnt even realize they were bent) Man, it makes a world of difference.
