[citation needed] The gas model boats were powered with O&R (Ohlsson and Rice) small 20 cc ignition gasoline utility engines. This was a ...
There have been several versions of the Miss GEICO boat, including one of the fastest offshore powerboats in the world. The most powerful was a 50' Mystic powered by twin Lycoming T-53 turbine engines, reaching speeds exceeding 210 mph (340 km/h); which caught fire during testing on June 30, 2012, in Sarasota, Florida , and burned to the ...

A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV) [citation needed] or remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is a free-swimming submersible craft used to perform underwater observation, inspection and physical tasks such as valve operations, hydraulic functions and other general ...
Remote control fishing is a fishing technique accomplished by using a remote control boat.The remote control fishing boats are almost exclusively battery operated, since batteries provide several benefits when compared with glow engines: less noise during operation, consume no power during idle time, requires no oxygen, easier to maintain, finer power and speed control, etc.
These aluminum boats are 45 feet (14 m) in length, with twin diesel engines (total 825 hp), are self-righting, have a four crew, six passenger capacity, are equippable with two .50 caliber machine guns, have an excellent fendering system, can achieve a top speed of 42 knots (78 km/h), and are capable of towing a 100-ton vessel in eight-foot seas.
