Best overlap: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Boston is 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Honolulu.
For a call that suits both sides, look at 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Boston / 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Honolulu. Around 4 hours of overlap is enough to work comfortably, as long as meetings don't drift to the end of one team's day. Keep an eye on the calendar — Boston observes daylight saving and Honolulu doesn't, which nudges this window by an hour twice a year.
