Replacement fork for Marin hybrid

I need to replace the fork on my Marin - this model:

Rather than another carbon fork, I want to use a butted Kona P2. How do I figure out whether the geometry will be OK? I cannot find the rake data for the existing fork.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think it will be fine, there is no suspension correction on the 700 P2 and it gets used on a lot of Kona crossers and 700 wheel fast commuters
The flatt barred Marin will be of a very similar geometry, if not the same

Cheers Zoids, hopefully it'll suit the bike fine even if it is a little heavier than the carbon one it is replacing. The bike is getting on a bit and I cannae be bothered with a carbon fork any more on the bike I intend to use most for trips / rough stuff.
