What is a 'boat motor'?
an immersion blender. basically a portable blender - you hold one end and the other end has a blender thingy that looks like a boat motor. (sorry for the rotten description). they're handy because you can stick them in a pot of chunky somethings (e.g., potatoes) to make smooth somethings (potato soup) instead of having to pour it into a blender in batches.
