powerboat
Engine-driven watercraft
A powerboat is a boat propelled by an engine rather than sails, oars, or paddles.
The term covers everything from small motorboats to large cabin cruisers: They spent the weekend on a powerboat in the lake.
Powerboating as a sport involves racing these vessels at high speeds.
