 ==Performance==
-The Jetmax, like any speedboat, possesses excellent speed and acceleration, making it the one of the best boats to drive in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. However, it is beaten by the [[Squalo]] in turning and handling. The Jetmax is the fastest boat in Vice City.  Nevertheless, misconception of the boat's performance arises in a GTA Vice City mission, "The Fastest Boat", where Ricardo Diaz claims a Squalo which he intends to have stolen is the "fastest boat". Playtests and examination of internal files reveal it is actually the Jetmax that is faster.
+The Cuban Jetmax in GTA Vice City in is the speediest boat, outclassing the [[Squalo]] in terms of acceleration and top speed (despite the claim that the [[Squalo]] is the fastest boat in "[[The Fastest Boat]]"). In addition to possessing more raw power than the Squalo, the boat is also largely aided by the boat's inherit design that involves the weight of the boat being distributed to the rear, slanting the boat upwards; this allows the boat to be launched into the air more easily than the Squalo while in motion, reducing friction and improving speed. Minimal contact with water also allows the boat to be controlled more easily, especially when the throttle is applied and the boat is forced into the air. These advantageous design elements were retained for the GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions of the Squalo.
+The Jetmax's in GTA IV, however, feature more even weight distribution and a more traditional hull design, grounding the boat to the water and hampering its raw power. As a result, the boat, while still fairly fast, is now less agile or speedier than the more streamlined Squalo. The Jetmax in GTA Chinatown Wars serves as a mid-to-high range speedboat that can travel fairly fast, although it cannot match the speed of the [[Cruiser]] or the agility of the [[Dinghy]] or [[Wet Ski]].
