well, even before mine came home.. i had plans on changin it... so i looked up on google search for paint jobs of nitrovees, saw some wicked ones, but didnt want to do those ones. so when she came home i painted and fixed abunch of stuff on it. still have a leak tho. but not from under the boat. its where the prop shaft is, i think i'll have to epoxy around the rubber to stop the leak so now i gotta buy more epoxy.... bummer but at least i found out before the lake.....got one decal on it so far custom made of course. trailer is getting somemore decals too. 1 more for the boat and the fixing will be done. then its just a tank and new exhaust hose as well as the exhaust. i took the water out and moved it to side of boat in the general area that you have it in. just need to epoxy that into place.i had the exact same button that you had but i cut mine flat instead of being pointed.so now it sits flush with the side and mine is a little higher then yours.
i will post pics when i get up tonight as i have to work ....
