Police boat
Name not confirmed
What the community calls it
Widely identified as the Lure Predator L35P Police Boat.
GTABase files the marked police boat as a police version of the Lure Predator L35P. We can check half of that ourselves, because the civilian L35P is one of the few vehicles on this site whose name we read off its own hull. What we cannot do is read this hull: at dusk, out of focus and far behind the subject, the word POLICE is the only thing on it that resolves.
What supports it
- The civilian L35P, whose name we read off its own hull elsewhere on this site, is a white centre-console boat with an arch over the helm. The near hull in this crop has that layout, and the lettered hull is white.
- The series has put its police boat on a civilian hull before: the Predator of GTA 4 and GTA 5 was one.
What does not
- The hull that says POLICE shows nothing else: no bow, no stern, no console. The console and the arch in the crop belong to the other hull, and we cannot say it is the same model.
- A family resemblance between centre-console boats is the layout every offshore fishing hull in the world shares.
- Our readable L35P frames show twin outboards marked DINKA 350. Neither transom here is in the picture.
- One database, and its entry names no picture.
Read on GTABase, September 17, 2026. They name the vehicle but no picture, so they confirm that it exists and not that it is the one in our frame. The identification is theirs, not ours.
We have not confirmed this. Our confidence in the identification: medium.
When the real name is confirmed, this page moves to that name and this address keeps working.

Two white centre-console hulls running at dusk behind Jason Duval in the press pack, out of focus. POLICE is on the far one; the console, the arch and the figure at the helm belong to the near one.
The frame is the eighth of the press pack's <a href="/gta6/characters/jason-duval/">Jason Duval</a> stills. He is the subject, in the foreground, and the boats are behind him, out on the water at dusk, so far outside the plane of focus that every edge has gone soft. There are two hulls in the crop, and the earlier version of this page ran them together. They are taken apart here.
The far hull, on the right, is the police boat. It is white, and along its topsides runs the word POLICE in dark capitals, out of focus but letter by letter distinct, with an orange mark before the word and a second, shorter run of lettering further aft that stays a smear. Above it, blue and white lights burn, the kind a light bar throws. That is all this hull gives: a lettered topside and some lights, no bow, no stern, no deck.
The near hull, across the bottom of the crop, is a white centre-console boat seen from its port side, with a dark bottom colour and a high, fine bow. A console with a white pod stands amidships with a light on top of it, an arch rises over the helm, a figure stands at the wheel, and a green navigation light shows on the gunwale. Its own topsides are blank in this light, so whether it is a second police boat or something else is not something the frame settles.
The name others give the marked boat is a police version of the Lurepredator. Half of that we can check: the civilian <a href="/gta6/vehicles/lurepredator-l35p/">Lurepredator</a> is one of the few vehicles on this site whose name we read off its own hull, and it is a white centre-console with an arch over the helm, as the near hull here is. The other half we cannot check, because the lettered hull shows nothing but its lettering. GTA 4 and GTA 5 both called their police boat the Predator, so a police version of a civilian hull is the series' own pattern. The name sits below as an attribution with its counter-argument.
How to recognise it
- Two hulls, both white, both out of focus, at dusk
- POLICE in dark capitals along the topsides of the far hull, an orange mark before the word
- Blue and white lights above the far hull's lettering
- Near hull: centre console with a white pod and a light on top, an arch over the helm, a figure at the wheel
- Green navigation light on the near hull's gunwale
The frame it comes from
The frame is a still from the official Press pack, which carries no timecode. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 768 by 410 of it. Also in it: Brian's Boat Works & Marina, a single-engine floatplane, and Jason Duval.
How this was measured
| Source | Press pack |
|---|---|
| Frame | 3840 × 2160 |
| Crop | 768 × 410 — a small part of the frame |
| Image check | 22 September 2026 — checked |
| Text check | 22 September 2026 — 21 claims read against the image, 2 corrected |
| Read at | the true pixel grid, 1:1 |
| Lettering | Letter height | Contrast | Reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| POLICE | 45 px | — | every character |
| the shorter run of lettering aft of POLICE on the far hull | 30 px | — | no |
These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work
What we still do not know
- What the police hull looks like beyond its lettering. Neither its bow nor its stern is in the frame.
- The second lettering run aft of POLICE, which is where a model name would sit
- Whether the near hull is a second police boat. Its topsides show nothing.
- Whether the marine unit carries the same Vice-Dale markings as the <a href="/gta6/vehicles/police-helicopter/">police helicopter</a>
- Everything measured: top speed, handling, where it spawns
A note on this record
Rebuilt on 22 September 2026 against the 4K press still, with a reading record on the crop. The page had described one boat that was two. The console, the arch, the figure at the helm and the green navigation light are on the near hull, which carries no lettering we can see; POLICE is on the far hull, of which nothing else is in the frame. The pixel widths that stood in the text have moved to the measurement record. The correction of 20 September, that those widths had been taken from a half-size copy of the still, stands.
