powerboaters
Engine-driven boat enthusiasts
Powerboaters are people who operate or enjoy motorboats—vessels propelled by engines rather than sails or oars.
The term often distinguishes them from sailors in discussions of waterway use, regulations, or recreational culture: Powerboaters and sailors don't always see eye to eye on marina etiquette.
