I'm not a boat person. But, I thought an inboard was built into the boat. And, and outboard is the kind you hang off the boat such as a row boat or bass boat.

an outboard hangs on the transom (back of the boat) and an inboard sits inside the boat with the outdrive (same as transmission) goes through a hole in the transom.

outboard = everything sits outside the boat.....better for fishing, usually faster of the boats, unless its a full racing boat
inboard = the engine sits inside the boat and the drive train sits outside the boat...........better for water skiing and usually uses an automotive type engine...... |

Outboard motors are wholly contained in and of themselves, and are then attached to the boat. You can see the whole motor. Inboard motors are built into the boat, and only the propellors can be seen from the outside. Ski boats and large cruiser or fishing boats have inboard motors.

Easiest is: an inboard boat motor is similar to a car engine, installed by the boat maker. An outboard boat motor is added on to the back of the boat and can be changed as you choose, more horsepower, etc. Inboards are generally faster and used on speedboats and for racing.

An outboard engine hangs off the rear of the boat.
An inboard engine is inside the boat and the drive goes through the transom. |

Outboard motors are the ones you can see inboard are the ones you can't see like for the really fast high performance racing boats

If your boyfriend tried and did not succeed, you have two possibilities; look for another friend or stay away from boating.
