You might spend as much to ship the boat as its worth. If you haven't done a lot reading on it, Kona is one of the best sport fishing destinations in the world. You don't have to go our as far to get to the fishing grounds and all the big sport fish are there. If you invest in gear, you're going to have to swallow hard on the cost of Marlin rods /reals. When / if you get over there, I'd love to hear how first hand reports of a transplant learning to deep sea fish. After catching my fist Mahi Mahi over there, and having read about the blue marlin, I've often dreamed about such an adventure.
