Predator
The Predator is a police assault boat that the police and the a player may use in all but one of the GTA III era games (except GTA Advance) and Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description
The Predator is a unique boat, because it has built-in .50 caliber machine guns on both sides of the hull, thus giving the player the ability to destroy any other boat directly in front of them; however, the guns are also revealed to seize briefly after prolonged firing, implying it is reloading ammunition.
Being a police boat, the Predator will appear if the player has a wanted level and is on water. Despite being a police vehicle, the Predator does not have Vigilante Missions associated with it. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, an officer will be on the roof of the boat and will shoot the player if they have, at least, a two star Wanted Level.
In GTA IV, the Predator doesn't have the built-in machine guns, replaced by officers on the back who will shoot the player with M4 Carbine assault rifles, regardless of their wanted level. It is possible that they'll be more aggressive if the wanted level is higher.
Variant
The Predator serves as the basis of another boat in GTA III, known as the Ghost (Missing). Appearing only in the mission Gone Fishing, the Ghost sports an entirely blue (PS2 version) or black (PC version) body and lacks the twin machine guns of the Predator.
