1. speedboat

   A motorboat, speedboat or powerboat is a boat that is exclusively powered by an engine. Some motorboats are fitted with inboard engines, others have an outboard motor installed on the rear, containing the internal combustion engine, the gearbox and the propeller in one portable unit. An inboard-outboard contains a hybrid of an inboard and an outboard, where the internal combustion engine is installed inside the boat, and the gearbox and propeller are outside. There are two configurations of an inboard, V-drive and direct drive. A direct drive has the powerplant mounted near the middle of the boat with the propeller shaft straight out the back, where a V-drive has the powerplant mounted in the back of the boat facing backwards having the shaft go towards the front of the boat then making a V towards the rear.

It is typically equipped with a powerful engine and a planing hull, enabling the boat to skim over the water surface and move faster than other types of boats.

Examples of speedboat in a Sentence

1. Marco Rubio:

   Apparently your family recently purchased a luxury speedboat. Now, I've seen a photo of this boat, i'm from Minnesota, you guys are from New Hampshire, looked a little bit like a fishing boat to me. The veterans really want to know, why didn't you buy a yacht large enough to land a Black Hawk on it?

2. Marco Rubio:

   Well the thing about the boat is, too, it is a luxury speedboat, but it is cleverly disguised as a fishing boat, but the best answer I got is someone who emailed me or texted me and said, 'Any boat where you have to go to the bathroom off the side of the boat is not a luxury speedboat.'.

3. Rick Turner:

   The best day of our whole trip was in Desenzano, we hired a speedboat and spent a few hours zooming up and down the lake – it was awesome. We were going round Garda Island, that huge palace [ the neo-gothic Villa Borghese, a Venetian-style mansion on Garda’s largest island ]. You could go wherever you wanted.
