Speedboat

Speedboats are a mode of aquatic transportation used in Republic City. Powered by gasoline, they can travel at very high speeds across water. For this reason, speedboats have become a common getaway vehicle for pursued criminals.

History
After his identity as a waterbender was accidentally revealed, Amon fled Republic City via speedboat. He brought his brother, Tarrlok, with him. Together, the two planned to start their life all over again, with Amon remarking that there was nothing they couldn't do. However, Tarrlok, seeing that his brother had bad intentions, decided to kill him by detonating the boat's gas tank with an electrical glove. Both of them died in the subsequent explosion.

Description
The boat Amon and Tarrlok used in their getaway was golden in color. In the front was the engine, while the back held all the passengers as well as the gasoline tank. The engine was internal, but the exhaust was external. Between the engine and passenger seats were four panes of glass. These panes were situated in front of the driver's seat, which was towards the right of the boat. Near the driver's seat were the control buttons and steering wheel, both of which were crucial in maneuvering the boat and keeping track of fuel consumption. There were also seats to the left of and behind the driver's one. Near the seats were shelves, where Amon kept several electrical gloves. Overall, the boat was intricately designed with fancy patterns.
