      I had to redo it like 6 times, and I escaped by car after killing all the cops, noose, and the two gunmen on the helicopter. I never found the boat. :(

      I did it on the first try. Fought my way back through the building to where I came in and used a Bobcat truck to lose them through the streets of Algonquin.

        Just a guess, it's in the water.

        it's right outside the entrance / exit in the water. you can hear the engine purring throughout the mission.

            I guess it could be a random spawn deal. Was somewhere along the water on that side.

      Last mission of the game rant : is this a sick joke? I miss the ramp with my dirt bike to get onto the helicopter and I have to start the damn mission over again? God. Why do I have the feeling I'll be patching a hole in my wall tomorrow morning.

          Great. I just wiped out the bike on a bottle as I was making a run for the ramp. /laugh

      I still cant finish that fucking mission. Can make it to the boat but never get away from the cops. Irritating.

        Fuck the boat - when the cops show up, sprint out of the building and jump in a car and speed away. I did this the second time I tried this mission and it worked like a charm. If you sprint past the cops they don't have much of a chance to shoot you. I had maybe half my health when I was speeding away.

      i did it first try, escaped the cops and then died in a head on collision while driving back to deliver the coke to Elizabetha(?). it was the biggest load of shit ever.

          Same thing happened to me in a mission involving your cousin. Killed everything, got in a truck, driving through grass and all of a sudden it just explodes :/
