Police boat

Two white centre-console hulls in the background of one of the press pack's Jason Duval stills, under a purple sky and out of focus. POLICE is on the far one; the console and the figure at the helm belong to the near one.

The frame is the eighth of the press pack’s Jason Duval stills. Jason himself is the subject, in the foreground, and his page has him; the boats are behind, out on the water under a purple sky, 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 with its bow to the right, so we see its starboard 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, a figure stands at the helm beside it, and a green navigation light shows on the gunwale, the starboard light, where it belongs. 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 Lurepredator, one of the few vehicles on this site whose name we read off its own hull, is a white centre-console too, like the near hull here. 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, but the GTA Wiki describes it as a dedicated patrol craft, not a civilian hull in police colours, so the series gives no precedent either way. The name sits below as an attribution with its counter-argument.

How to recognise it

• Two hulls, both white, both out of focus, under a purple sky
• 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, a figure at the helm
• Green navigation light on the near hull's starboard 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

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 police helicopter
• Everything measured: top speed, handling, where it spawns

A note on this record

Checked again on 26 September 2026 against the 4K press still. The near hull shows its starboard side, not its port side: its bow points right, and the green light on its gunwale is the starboard light. There is no arch over its helm in the frame, only the console with a light on top and a figure beside it. POLICE is on the far hull, of which nothing else is in the frame. Rebuilt on 22 September 2026, when the page stopped describing one boat that was two.
