Hey Racey...
My 72 Mandella had almost the identical gel. Except, it was a maroon metal flake on the side and also had this big Nike looking swoosh on the sides. Ufortunately, I didn't know what I had and it had been sitting outside for 20 years and was weather beaten to death.
You don't realize how ugly these boats are until you paint them completely white. They definitely need some color and lines to give it some attractive asthetics.
Great looking boat! Can't wait to see it on the water.
