Some motorboats are fitted with inboard engines, others have an outboard motor installed on the rear, containing the internal combustion engine , the gear reduction gearbox and the propeller in one portable unit. An inboard outboard contains a hybrid of a powerplant and an outboard, where the internal combustion engine is installed inside the boat, and the gearbox and propeller are outside. There are two configurations of an inboard, v drive and direct drive. A direct drive has the powerplant mounted near the middle of the boat with the propeller shaft straight out the back, where a v drive has the powerplant mounted in the back of the boat facing backwards having the shaft go towards the front of the boat then making a V towards the rear. The v drive has become increasingly popular due to the wakeboarding and wakesurfing sports. Motorboats vary greatly in size and configuration, from the 4 meter, open center console type to the luxury mega yacht s capable of crossing an ocean.
