I thought this would interest some with electronically run engines. Granted this boat was on the hard. I don't know if that makes it more or less susceptible to being hit. 42 foot Osmond was hit. The post is over on the DE forum but I will post the original post here.
Boat was actually on a mooring when struck.

The force blew the upper steel coupling through the cabin top of a 42 Osmond 2 1/2” thick, burnt up engine ECU, instrument panel, and a bunch of other electrical equipment and wiring
