A boat 100 has a hull 101 comprising a stern 102 and a sealable powertrain container 103 housing a drive mechanism 104 for driving the boat. The sealable powertrain container is located at the stern of the boat and is mounted relative to the hull so as to increase the buoyancy of the boat when the boat is under way. The sealable powertrain container may comprise an opening for providing access to an interior of the container and a closure 105 movable to close the opening in a watertight manner. The application also discloses a boat having a transom (401, Fig 4) and a base, with a rigid brace (402, Fig 4) attached between the stern and the base of the hull, for reinforcing the structure of the boat and a hollow pole (405, Fig 4) comprising an upper end and an opening coupled to an internal combustion engine to serve as an inlet.
