MISSION NOTE: DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
If you start this mission as Michael, you'll be treated to a cutscene with Tracey and Amanda arguing while Michael relaxes by the pool**
But if you start the mission as Franklin, the cutscene with Tracey and Amanda is omitted and Michael will already be by the pool.
**The cutscene of Amanda and Tracey is NOT available during a Replay.
PART 1: THE BOAT CHASE
When the mission begins, get into 础尘补苍诲补’蝉 convertible and drive towards the the lower beachside freeway. Once you get to the waypoint, Michael will spot the yacht, so chase after it!
PART 2: FREEWAY SHOOT-OUT
Move close enough to allow Franklin on board. With fast driving skills, Franklin can board the boat just as Michael exits the tunnel.
After Franklin jumps aboard the boat, keep on the boat's tail and then start shooting at the baddies when Franklin gives the word. Press the L1/LT button to do drive-by shooting from the front window. When the coast is clear, Jimmy will end up dangling on the mast.
GOLD MEDAL REQUIREMENTS: "QUICK CATCH"
For this requirement, Michael needs to catch Jimmy in ONE try. As soon as Jimmy is seen dangling from the sail, get in close to the waypoint and wait for him to drop. Make sure the road is clear so that you don't have to slam on the brakes!
- For PS4/X1/PC versions, you'll need to switch to Third-Person view, otherwise you may not be able to catch Jimmy within the time limit if using First-Person view.
PART 3: THE CAR REPAIR

With Jimmy safe in the car, drive in close to the boat and catch Franklin. Get in close and a quick cutscene shows Franklin jumping off the boat to the car hood. From there, the engine gives out, so make a U-turn and drive to LS Customs to make some repairs.
After the cutscene, drive in to LS Customs and get the car fixed free of charge. Now that the car is fixed, drive it back to Michael's house.
Return to Michael’s house with Amanda's car in mint condition to complete the mission.
