Is "kona" the final answer? Is that the make or the model? google results didn't help verify... |

I can't comment on whether that specific boat is a Kona or not, but Kona was a California company that made more of the low-profile jet-boat/flatbottom v-drive style of boats as opposed to outboards. I've seen a couple of those in BC. Looks to be moving at a breakneck pace.....  Matt |

Yeah, from what I saw from my research on Kona, this does not look like a Kona. But maybe it is an some odd low volume, not very popular model of hull.. So I guess it is a mystery of what that hull actually is; since I've had never seen one before and never seen one since, and I'm pretty curious about its origin. thanks, M |

I had a Kona many moons ago. It didn't look anything like that one. |

I'm certainly no expert on this, but I don't think it's a Kona. Although the one in the pics is cool. Here are some pics of the one I had and it's basically a Sidewinder LoPro. They were also sold as Tahiti's The orange one we saw on Chemong was a 23' jet, with a cutty. Very kewl old California style boat. Like an old Sleekcraft. You might notice my co-pilot in one of the pics - Gryph. The Blue one is also a Kona. My cousin still has it from new in around '73. Hopefully we can find out what it actually is - if its not a Kona.
