Fast and Speeding boat






The drive system can be inboard, outboard or inboard/outboard. This leads the engine’s power into the water and controls direction.
The inboard system gives good balance to the boat but, because of its size, the boat will lack inside space. This system is best suited for those driven by speed and boat power. Although handling and fuel efficiency will still be a problem. Moreover, you have to take the whole boat to a repair shop and it is a lot more complicated to get it fixed thus more expensive.


The majority of outboard boat motors has a two-cycle stroke engine and are perfect for powering small boats, offering good fuel efficiency. With a four-stroke outboard, balance between the boat and the motor’s weight should be carefully considered. The outboard system is low cost, easy to carry, easy to get it fixed and it takes up little space off a boat’s interior. Many companies still manufacture two-stroke outboard engines, because of their light weight. Four-strokes can come out light but the price is much higher. Fuel efficiency for outboard systems are preferred by those who go on long fishing trips, fishing charters or travel for business.

Inboard/outboard systems have the engine located inside while the other components are outside, maintaining the balance of an inboard system. The major drawback is the expensive preservation due to its complexity.
Some of the greatest speed boat manufacturers are Glastron, Shakespeare, Bayliner, Iowe, and Triton. Some speed boats can reach 90 feet and go over 88miles/hour. For a real speed enthusiast, offshore speed boats are available in all sizes and models. “Magnum Marine”, for example, is a manufacturer specialized in custom built speed boats that fit each buyer’s needs. “Checkmate Performance Power Boats” are renowned for their speed – they are considered the fastest, with lengths from 16 feet to 33 feet. Last but not least “Fountain Powerboards” manufacture speed boats of 27 to 47 feet, considered the safest and very easy to maneuver.
