Surely if he won lots of races and had to drop three then he'd drop the 3 worth leaving him with a load of wins?

Think I agree with Just4Fun;
A powerboat is a boat powered by an engine; a speedboat is a powerboat that is designed primarily for speed.
So, a speedboat is a type of powerboat.
I would personally split the definition (for the "Boats & JetSkis" website) between a speedboat & a sportsboat. Phantoms, Rings, Argos etc being speedboats; Fletchers, Pictons, SeaDoo etc being sportsboats.
Anything decked out purely for racing (BatBoats, Racedeck Phantoms etc) would be a Racing-Boat.
Easy.

That'll make it a powerboat then, cos I suspect they'll want you to wear a lid.

Now matt you have not been following, its a speedboat, because a speedboat is faster than a powerboat 
I think it is time to put this one to bed 
Borderline boats will be placed in speedboat section at admins discression
