It depends of the size of the boat. A guy with a 15 foot skiff with an outboard could be a commercial fishing boat is he is engaged in commercial fishing. On the other end there are very large factory processing ships that would have very large powerful engines.

Do boats use gas like cars?
Most speed boats, especially with outboards, use gasoline engines. Larger vessels such as ships and commercial boats, generally use diesel. For raw power and performance, gasoline engines are still best. Big chevvy V8s are popular choice for powerboats with internal engines. Water and electrics (for the spark) do not mix well, so gas engines need to be maintained and looked after well and can be temperamental. For economy and reliability diesels are best. Which is why commercial vessels use them.
