HONOLULU SCREAMER,  HAWAII’S FIRST AND ONLY GROUP PASSENGER HIGH PERFORMANCE JET BOAT, LAUNCHES ITS FIRST THRILL ON OCT.6th, 2006

HONOLULU – FRIDAY, October 6, 2006 – The Honolulu Screamer, Hawaii's first and only group passenger high performance jet boat will launch its inaugural trip from Kewalo Basin.  The 49 passenger jet boat boasts 1420 horsepower with a turbo charged diesel engines powering two ultra jet drives that will take passengers on a 45 minute ride towards Diamond Head and back.  Passengers will be treated to a thrilling ride of weaves and spins of up to 40 mph, all while enjoying scenic offshore views of Waikiki. 

The vision of this jet boat came to proprietor Greg Longnecker in a dream, and despite the odds against him—anything from not having any funds to not knowing how to build such a boat—Greg placed everything with his faith in God.  Within six months, all his problems were solved and the project was underway.  Greg’s speedboat dream took $1 million and almost two years to build.  After being transported by land from its birthplace in New Jersey to a port in Long Beach, California, the Honolulu Screamer finally made it to Honolulu aboard a ship. 

“In my dream, I saw thousands of people smiling and having fun riding this boat.  That is why I know it was from God,” quotes Greg Longnecker, President of the Honolulu Screamer.  As an homage to God for granting his wish, Greg had “For with God, nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37)” painted along the side of the boat.
