Inboard means that the engine is fixed inside the bottom of the boat. Outboard means the engine is fixed outside the boat, usually clamped to the stern, and can be tilted up in very shallow water, or removed from the boat when not in use for security.

Do all newly made boats have an outboard motor?

The short answer is no. Boats are made with outboard, inboard-outboard, a hybrid using an inboard engine driving a stern mounted shaft that looks like the lower end of an outboard. Others use inboard engines, typically larger cruiser and specialty ski boats. Personal watercraft use a inboard engine powering a water jet pump. This jet drive system is also used in some boats. Most smaller boats are powered by outboards. New large outboards up to 400HP permit larger boats some over 30 ft long to be outboard powered. Most mid-size boats from 18-30 feet are powered by inboard-outboard systems to take advantage of larger automotive engines.
