I rode my SJ without the intake grate bolts, is it waterlogged now?

So I'm pretty sure I made a dumb mistake last year. I got a 701 SN last summer and sucked gravel into the pump. It tore up the prop and broke the pump shoe. I didn't know why it wouldn't accelerate or come out of the water and while I was trying to figure it out I took off the intake grate to look at the prop. I didn't realize that the bolt holes went right up into the foam and I foolishly tried to ride it without the intake grate on it. I only had it in the water for a few minutes like that but is there an easy way to tell if it is waterlogged? It has been sitting on the floor of my garage for about 8 months now without the bolts in it so I'm not sure if that is enough to dry it out or not. I was about to order a new prop and get it back on the water but I've read other threads about waterlogged skis and now I'm worried that I soaked the foam in mine.

You’re fine. Doubt that little bit did much. It’s an old SN anyways, it probably got some water in it anyways even if you thought you had it perfectly sealed.

Ok cool I'm glad it prob didn't hurt anything. Is there anything else that I have to make sure to seal up after I replace the pump shoe/prop? Is there a drive shaft seal that should be replaced?
