Ghost

The Ghost (known as GHOST missing in the PS2 version) is a boat featured in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Grand Theft Auto III
The Ghost in Grand Theft Auto III is essentially an unmarked, modified, civilian variant of the Predator police boat, lacking the twin machine guns of the police variant. The boat's color is "police car blue" in the PS2, Xbox, Mobile and Definitive Edition versions, and black in the original PC version. The Ghost boat shares many similarities with the Predator; the mobile version of the Ghost also features a bow rail, a small ladder on the back, and buoys attached to the sides.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
The same boat exists in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories with the "Ghost" name in-game; however, it cannot be encountered during normal gameplay. The boat has various visual glitches, including an entirely missing stripe on the boat's hull, allowing the player to see right through it, which suggests that the vehicle was planned but left unfinished early on. It will appear with a jet black paint job on PS2 and Mobile. The PSP version of GTA Liberty City Stories contains another variant of the Ghost that is painted bright red.

Performance
The Ghost has the same performance statistics as the Predator.

Prominent Appearances in Missions

 * The boat appears only in Grand Theft Auto III during the mission "Gone Fishing", in which Claude is tasked with killing Ray Machowski's Partner while he is fishing near Portland Rock. If Claude chases Ray's partner long enough he will beach the boat on Portland Beach. The boat will remain on the beach after the mission (providing it isn't destroyed by explosives) and can be pushed back into the sea and sailed, but it cannot be saved.

Glitches

 * If the player manages to push the Ghost to a garage in an attempt to save it, the garage door will open and close for it initially; however, when the door reopens, the game will completey freeze or crash.
 * The GTA Liberty City Stories version of the Ghost contains numerous visual glitches. Its model was left unfinished and was never intended to be spawned during normal gameplay.

Trivia

 * The reason the name is "GHOST missing" in the PS2 version upon entering is because there is no valid GXT name, so it uses its game name ("GHOST") with the word "missing". Rockstar fixed this on the other platforms and gave an in-game name to the boat. This would happen to all other vehicles with no valid GXT names.
 * The reason the Ghost boat is black in the PC version is because in the carcols.dat file, the color value is set to blue, but the game reads this as black.
 * In the PSP version of GTA Liberty City Stories, a Ghost with a red paint job exists, but it cannot be obtained conventionally.
 * In GTA III: The Definitive Edition the Ghost finally appears in-game as intended in the original PS2 version, with no missing or unfinished assets.
