motorboaters
Lake throttle enthusiasts
Motorboaters are people who operate motorboats—watercraft powered by engines rather than sails or oars.
The term also refers, in vulgar slang, to those who perform the act of motorboating: pressing one's face between someone's breasts and shaking the head while making a lip-vibrating sound, mimicking an outboard motor.
The lake was crowded with motorboaters on the holiday weekend.
