A boat is a watercraft of any size designed to float and travel on water. Some people laughingly call it a hole in the water into which you throw money, but if you’ve been bitten by the boating bug, you’ll always consider it money well-spent.

Boats can be categorized into three main types:

1. Unpowered or human-powered boats. Unpowered boats include rafts and floats meant for one-way downstream travel. Human-powered boats include canoes, kayaks, gondolas, and boats propelled by poles (punts).
2. Sailboats, propelled by means of sails.
3. Motorboats, propelled by mechanical means, such as engines.

In addition, ski boats are specialized motorboats specifically designed to safely tow one or more water skiers or para-sailors. This is achieved by using a high-horsepower, marine automobile engine, usually positioned in the midsection and powered through a direct drive to the propeller.

Boats have a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and construction methods and materials, depending on their intended purpose.

First ask yourself what it is that you want to do, and that will determine the right kind of boat for you. And here at VideoAdds you can see them in motion!
