The speed of a boat can be measured using a device called a speedometer or a GPS unit, which calculates the distance traveled over time. Alternatively, you can measure speed using a log line, which involves throwing a weighted line overboard and counting the number of knots that pass through your hands in a set time period. For more precise measurements, electronic instruments like sonar or Doppler speed logs can be used.

How does a boat measure speed?
Knots one nautical mile per hour there are 1 1/8 of a nautical mile in a statute mile Originally measured by throwing a piece of wood attached to a piece of rope over the back of a boat and counting how many knots went past in a given time. These days it is more normally measured by: a/ using a pitot static tube which measure difference in pressure and uses bernoulli's equation (enter into wikipedia as is easier to read) to find the velocity. b/ Some form of propeller (technically impeller) which is suspended under the boat. The passing water turns, the speed of rotation is measurred and this gives you the speed of the boat. c/Using ultrasonics to measure the speed that small bubbles of air in the water passing under the boat go past.
When was the first speed boat invented?
The first speed boat was invented in 1910 by David Harmon
