Hey, I lost a 1975 19' Kona Makai bubble deck/455 Olds/Je pump in Atscadero a few years back--probably the ugliest boat I've ever seen. Nice lines, but ugly gel colors (wood grain deck, silver and red metal flake) and condition (about 80 grit). I sort of sold/financed/gave it as a project to a friend, and didn't hear from him for about 4 years. The story of my life--in fact, I just found the pink slips in an old file today.

Don't think so--mine had no brown metal flake--just the vinyl wood grain on the deck and the silver and red metal flake on the bubble and the rest of the hull. If you ever see it around--CF 3868 HY--I have the pink slips.
