inboard motorboat
Quick Summary
An inboard motorboat is a watercraft propelled by an engine permanently mounted within its hull. The engine's drive shaft passes through the hull to turn a propeller. These boats are used for recreation, such as cruising and sports like fishing and water skiing, as well as for racing. They can range in size from small craft for one person to larger vessels over 100 feet long, though most accommodate six passengers or fewer.12
