It would also help to know what you ran aground on. Running aground on mud or soft sand is generally not going to do as much damage as running aground on rocks or hard sand mixed with rocks. While the jolt may have felt pretty hard to you, it may have just been the rotation of the boat as the keel stopped as the rest of the boat attempted to keep going.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
