Fork Size For Kona Stinky

I've got a friend who wants to replace the forks on his 2004 Stinky as they are totally broken. I can't work out what size forks he should be getting though. I think the originals were 150mm dual crown horrible Marzocchi things but I honestly have no clue.
Would some Revelations be the right fork to get or maybe some Lyrik's?

something with the same travel.
BUT what is he using it for?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Well he says he wants to start doing some DH but really the bike is just a bike he wants to be able to use for abusing a bit at Innerleithen until he can afford a proper DH bike. There won't be any big jumps or drops and he isn't particularly fast. He would just use the current forks but they are unusable as they are. So the cheaper the better which is why it would be great if he only needs some Rev's or even Sektor's.0

Find out the current travel (or axle to crown length) and take it from there.....Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I saw the words "abusing" and "cheaper-the-better"..
..will these fit?

Uses it for recreational DH seems to work quite well
Revs will fold in half on the first jump
Lyriks nice but ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££0 -
By abusing he more means he just doesn't have to think too much about maintaining them, can jump on the bike and not worry about wether stuff is going to work. Plus something he doesn't have to worry about on an uplift bus is always good.
I know Rev's wouldn't break because the biggest jumps he would even look at doing I do on my Marin with 32's with no problems.
It's going to be difficult to measure the forks as he is moving house at the moment and it's all packed away hence why I asked here. He ideally wants all the parts ready so he can just give me the bike, fit them and then he can have it back within a few days instead of having to wait for stuff to arrive.0 -
Ah, now I'm slightly getting somewhere. They are Marzocchi Drop Off Triples from 2004. Anybody know the axle to crown of these? Would be so much easier than having to dig the bike out.0

the info is on Marzs webby."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
