Motor yachts, generally speaking, are the vessel (other than a sailboats), propelled by an internal combustion engine driving a jet or a propeller. There are three popular variations of motor yacht powerplants: inboard, inboard/outboard, and outboard. If the engine is installed within the boat, it's called a powerplant; if it's a removable module attached to the boat, it's commonly known as an outboard motor.
