That's the anti-anti-cavitation plate.

Well, it does have a very pretty looking rod on number one cylinder. It was awful nice of them to put that hole right dead center on the #1 piston so it's easy to see it and inspect it.

Tends to slip in the turns unless you trim down. Fun boat for down here, honestly I'd rather be in the rough water with the Key Largo than the Superboat

What model is this Key Largo?

Picked it up cheap. Like real cheap. Knew it was blown.

The hydrostream is gonna sacrifice its power head for the rest the year. When we slow down a bit this winter I'll rebuild this powerhead
