Best Answer

Either RESISTANCE, or FRICTION - first by water then by air - or reverse thrust. Friction arises when the water rubs against the hull of the boat. The rougher the skin of the hull, the faster the boat slows. Reverse thrust is used when the engine, oars or motor is utilised to either turn the propellant device in the opposite direction or to run it backwards.
