=== GTA Vice City — GTA Vice City Stories ===
Being large, the Tropic between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories is generally one of the slowest of all boats (in a similar level as the [[Marquis]] and [[Rio]]) due to its size and weight.
Being large, the Tropic between GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories is generally one of the slowest of all boats (in a similar level as the [[Marquis]] and [[Rio]]) due to its size and weight.


The GTA IV rendition features improved performance, but remains a low-end speedboat as the third-fastest having a similar speed as the game's [[Dinghy]]. For this reason, it is the least used boat in the multiplayer races of GTA IV.
=== GTA IV ===
The GTA IV rendition features improved performance, and is surprisingly capable of beating the [[Jetmax]] and [[Squalo]] in terms of top speed (being capable of reaching over 51mph/80 km/h) and acceleration. The boat is also substantially more maneuverable given its moderately light weight and smaller size.
