I'd wait for old rigger to chime in on these polynesian boats . He's been working on them since he was a wee lad . Check the wiring on it . If it's a disaster, he probably did it early on as a little kid. 
If I remeber correctly , his father would stick him under the decks cuz he was little kid and fit under there well to do the wiring , he wrote his name under the deck of one or some I think . He's waiting for it pop up. Hope he can clear that story up for me , could have been a bunch BS too.-beerjet-
No, I wasn't shoved under the dash and made to wire boats at and early age by my dad, but that's a much better story than what really happened. When I was about 10 or so, if I wanted to stay up late and watch TV past my normal bedtime (this was in the 60s) my dad made a deal with me. I could stay up late if I made his wire looms. (by the way, I still have the tools he gave me to work with. I don't use them any longer, the wire stripper I bought in the 80s is a much better tool, but for some reason I still have them) He made up a little dash template out of wood that had all the terminals in it just like the gauges in the dash would have and I'd make up looms and watch gunsmoke or bonanza or whatever else we watched back then past 9 o'clock. It was my first job in the boat biz. lol There were no pre-made looms yet, at least not at Tahiti and the riggers had to make their own and because they were all on piece work, that was a time killer. Looking back I probably could have made a killing making looms for the other guys in the shop. Don't forget the boats were very basic back then and the dash usually had only 5 gauges so the looms reflected that. If a speedo were to be added it only need 2 jumpers from another gauge for the lights if they were even wired in. The tail end of the loom I'd leave long and without any terminals. It was very easy for him to trim that to fit.
As far as my dads rigging went, he was the best back then and the only rigger at Tahiti or Hawaiian to never have aboat come back to have something fixed. Not a big deal now but it meant a lot to him then. He was the one who signed the ID plate, or under the deck somewhere, with his initials...that's what I'm looking for. One of his boats, not one of mine.
As far as the boat listed, it was not made by Tahiti or Kona, easy mistake. Tahiti and Hawaiian were Schuster, Hawaiian was for a very short time 'Tiki boats' complete with the Tahiti Tiki head, but a lawsuit stopped that and the change to Hawaiian was made. Kona was Jerry Baker, later he had Baker Custom boats too. I have no idea who Waikiki was. I remember the boat, just never had any contact with them. There were countless builders that popped up in the 70's, the glory days of jet boats and that Waikiki is just a generic splash of a Tahiti.
Based on this picture alone, I'd pass on the boat.
