A racing powerboat is a watercraft designed to gain high speed and be competitive in racing competitions. While moving through the water, it creates an air cushion that does not allow deep immersion of the hull. Due to this, the boat can reach high speeds. The flat bottom of the watercraft also contributes to this, which reduces the resistance to sliding through the water.
Such vessels are equipped with high-speed propellers and create a small amount of waves when moving through the water. A racing motorboat can reach speeds of up to 300 km/h. Therefore, they are used only in water sources that have a large area for maneuvering.
