A Speedboat is a type of motorboat that is designed for speed and agility across the surface of the water. Generally, power speedboats feature smooth, low-profile hulls for optimal navigation in any water environment. These boats are typically propelled by powerful outboard motors or stern drives, allowing them to achieve higher speeds more easily than other types of boats. In most cases, speedboats can reach speeds of up to 60 miles an hour, depending on the engine size and horsepower. Speedboat racing is a popular sport, with many dedicated clubs, organizations and events held around the world.
