if there is a chance its real wood DONT paint it.  you ll be kicking yourself for a long time!   wood is awesome.

 Come on guys, its a 73 Kona, its not a real wood deck.   I would still do everything I could to save it because I like it.   But, konajet its your boat and it only needs to make YOU happy, so if you don't like it, paint it.   

if its not real you can look real real close at the grain and see dots where the grain was printed on the fiberglass cloth.

i like the wood grain thats y i made a thread in showcase about woodgrain and diffrent colors trying to find out what i can match with the woodgrain that will look good i kinda planned on a metallic blue but i think that would look horrible with wood grain

Restore it and put, "GOT WOOD?" with Mr horse power looking thru one of the Os

ok after a day of thinking bout this issue i decided no paint even if the gel is a little rough in some places im sure the true jet boat people can respect a 40 year old gel job with the bitchen wood grain so tomorrow i go to the detail shop get some more 2000 grit and some new compound and new pads for the high speed buffer ill post pics as i get it done
