I know this has been beat to death and will get done more than just this one more time but, I'm looking at a hull that the guy says the HIN is JRS7V837107475 and the guy tells me it's a Tahiti hull. From what I can gather from the USCG database it's a hull made by JERSEY MARINE INDUSTRIES (out of business) and it shows only Kona in the details.
What do think?
Tks,
Greg

I would too. Here's a photo of what is being called a Tahiti. The one closest to us in the photo.

So what do you think? Is it a Kona, 17' or is it a Tahiti?
-
Does it have full or 1/4 stringers?

I have no idea. Would that make a difference in the make?

Neither. Most Kona's were full stringer boats and most Tahiti's were 1/4 stringer boats. However both brand names could be built either way as per the customer's orders.

It's a boat on eBay and from I've received back from the guy selling it, he has no real idea what he has. Here is how it is listed.
16' TAHITI BOAT, TRAILER, VOLVO MOTOR, AND VOLVO DRIVE
16' TAHITI BOAT, TRAILER, 4 CYLINDER B20 VOLVO MOTOR WITH BURNT VALVE, VOLVO 270 OUTDRIVE, ALL MAJOR PARTS APPEAR TO BE THERE. I HAVE AN EXTRA ENGINE OUT OF A VOLVO P1800 B18 I WILL SELL SEPARATE, WHICH IS COMPLETE AND TURNS OVER BY HAND. NO TITLE FOR BOAT OR TRAILER, SOLD AS PARTS BOAT, TRAILER INCLUDED, I DO HAVE LEIN SALE PAPER WORK FOR THE BOAT, NOT TRAILER. BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND LICENSING TO TRANSPORT. EMAIL FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS. POSSIBLE DELIVERY, FOR DELIVERY CHARGE.
I'm not interested in the motor or the outdrive, since I have a SBC I would be installing. How hard would it be to make it a full stringer hull if it happens to be a 1/4 stringer?

The emblem on the back of the engine hatch looks like it says kona to me

Steering is on the wrong side!

Maybe is was suppose to go to Europe where the steering is on the wrong side and they drive on the wrong side of the road as well. If full stringers could be added and the paper work cleared with DMV, it might be a nice boat for a SBC project. What do you think?

I was thinking the same thing. DMV has a bunch of idiots working there. :screwy: DMV would be worth about 1000 more gray hairs.
