Power boating describes activities performed in a motorized boat. Generally a power boat has a high power to weight ratio and a hull design that allows for easy planing which allows for higher speed and improved handling. Also the shape of the actual boat is usually very streamlined, which minimizes air resistance and drag, therefore increasing speed. Power boats are often used recreationally including waterskiing and wakeboarding
