So I went back to inspect further. We pulled it out to get better light. Looks like it went pretty high in the boat. The passenger seat (it's a bow rider) was lifted off its post by the water. It has water in the anchor storage at the very front of the boat. Water is in the oil. And it's been in there for almost a week.

Guess it is a in/ob rig. If you don't know anything about them, best to let the insurance pay the bill. If flooded, fuel tank has water, engine has water and the lower unit has water.
What needs to be done is pickle the engine. That is pulling spark plugs, disconnect fuel, shoot a shite load of motor oil in each cylinder and try to turn it over, add more oil. If fuel injection, you going to have problems down the line.

Was there any water in the upper intake or air box? Water in the oil doesn't always guarantee failed rod bearings and but that silty river water tends to frick things right proper. I'd prepare for the worst.
