Time Stamps:
00:00 - OM0 (On Mission = 0) Setup with Bloodbowl and a Phone Call
02:15 - Entering the Red Marker for Gym Moves and then releasing the Phone Call
03:00 - Acquiring the Bass Boost Modification inside of Transfender and then accepting Gym Moves to teleport back to the Gym
03:35 - Entering/Exiting Burger Shot so the Phone Call can ring again
06:05 - Entering Bloodbowl a second time while holding the Phone Call
07:20 - Entering the Red Marker for Gym Moves a second time and then releasing the Phone Call
08:30 - Entering SF Ticket Booth, waiting for Phone to ring, holding Call, and buying Ticket to LV
08:50 - Accepting Gym Moves 1.5 seconds after seated in the Plane while holding the Call and then jumping out near the Coastguard Spawn
09:25 - Driving to Boat School while holding the Call
11:15 - Entering the Red Marker while holding the Call and beginning "Land, Sea, and Air"
11:20 - Course begins and I release Phone Call and then cancel Course
11:25 - I begin "Plot a Course" and when I see CJ sitting inside of the EC/EC2 (Exclusive Color and Exclusive Secondary Color) White and Torch Red Coastguard I then cancel the Menu to teleport me back to the Transfender with the Coastguard
11:35 - Waiting for the Flight to end and put CJ back at the Airport
12:30 - Walking back to Transfender and pushing the Coastguard into the Garage
18:30 - Running on foot and then swimming back to the Boat School
29:00 - Entering the Red Marker right at the ten minute mark and then canceling out of Boat School
29:25 - Flying back to the Garage to confirm the Coastguard
30:50 - Showing off the EC/EC2 Coastguard
This Method will work EXACTLY as shown on PS2, Xbox, and PC since all of these Platforms/Versions allow the Method shown in the Video. It MIGHT work on Mobile, provided you're using a Controller as it's the only way you can hold a Phone Call. Touch Screens won't work. I can't confirm/deny, it's what I hear. This also won't work on the Definitive Edition, either, as far as I know.
Before you begin, you will need a HIGH PRIORITY Phone Call. It's also recommended to pass the Bloodbowl Stadium Event, all Boat School Courses, as well as the Gym Moves so you won't get any extra Mission Attempts added to the Stats. If you're on PS2 Version 1.03, just by ENTERING the Gym, you get a Mission Attempt, even if Gym Moves are completed, just so you know.
There is MANY High Priority Phone Calls that can be used throughout the Story. For the Guide, I am showing this Video toward the end, before "End of the Line" because as far as I know, this will be the last HIGH PRIORITY Phone Call CJ will get and be able to use OM0 and Call Holding Methods. To avoid a headache, I recommend obtaining these EC/EC2 Boats any time you unlock Las Venturas and BEFORE End of the Line. By doing it in Las Venturas means you'll have ALL possible storage space in the game by then, everything unlocked, and plenty of High Priority Phone Calls.
Know that ALL of the Special Boats from Boat School can be recreated with the EC/EC2/EM Conversion or EC/EC2 Transfer Conversion. In fact, I honestly RECOMMEND you do this. As you can see, even for these Methods to obtain the Boats rather than converting them, you still are raising your Vehicle Modifications Budget Stat by buying the Bass Boost Mod to get a Menu in the first place.
This is a far better Method overall and it works for the other Boats in Boat School, too. I say it's a far better Method because the other Method I shown for the other three EC/EC2 Boats actually leaves permanent buoys and ramps in the Ocean. It's minor, but it's still a trace left behind and isn't recommended to use such Methods because of it.
You have to make it back to Boat School before the ten minutes is up. If you run back to Transfender rather than walk like I shown in the Video, the timer will start immediately. Do whatever you think will work for you in order to reach Boat School in time. I had way extra time at the end and had to just stand there doing nothing, but it was also my first (and likely last) time I do this. I wanted to make sure I wasn't pressed for time. You can do Burglary for Infinite Sprint, but then there you go, another Mission Attempt given!
The EC2 on this Coastguard is VISIBLE. It's the stripe along the side of the Coastguard.
I am recording this Video on PCSX2 Version 2.6.3. Game Version is SLUS-20946 (Version 1.03) of GTA San Andreas for PS2.
