motor boats

Powered lake vessels

Motor boats are watercraft propelled by an engine rather than by sails, oars, or paddles.

They range from small recreational craft with outboard motors to larger cabin cruisers and speedboats.

The term also functions as a verb in vulgar slang, describing the act of pressing one's face between someone's breasts and shaking the head rapidly while exhaling, producing a sound reminiscent of a motorboat engine.

He rented a motor boat for fishing on the lake.
