What is a Motor Boat?
A Motor Boat is a small vessel powered by an engine (motor) that travels on water.
Its greatest feature is that it can sail at a stable speed because it is self-propelled and does not depend on wind or human power. Compared to rowboats and sailboats, they are easier to operate and relatively easy to handle even for beginners, making them widely used for leisure, marine sports, and commercial purposes.
Motor Boats come in a variety of structures, but the majority of Motor Boats are “outboard” type, in which the engine is installed on the outside of the hull. The engine is easy to remove and easy to maintain.

2. Towing for water sports
Motor Boats are indispensable for enjoying water sports such as water skiing, wakeboarding, and banana boating. They pull riders while maintaining a stable speed with their powerful engines.
3. For safety and transportation
Motor Boats are also used for commercial purposes. They are used for harbor and river patrols, water cabs, goods transportation, research activities, and even as a means of commuting to remote islands or to the opposite shore. They are also indispensable for emergency response in times of disaster, such as transporting relief supplies and saving lives.
4. For public interest competitions
Motor Boats are used in boating competitions for public interest. Boats are used for speed and maneuvering skill competitions, and boats designed specifically for racing are constructed to minimize air and water resistance.
