Boats

Boats are vehicles that float on water. They have a large hull, or a big bottom part, that helps them stay afloat. The hull is usually made of metal or fiberglass and it is filled with air or foam to help it stay above water. On the back of the boat there is a motor and a propeller, which helps it move through the water. Boats also have a steering wheel and a rudder, which controls the direction of the boat. To control the speed, you can use the throttle. There are a few different types of boats, like sailboats, motorboats, and kayaks. Sailboats use the wind to move, motorboats use the motor to move, and kayaks use a paddle to move.
