If we look at the horsepower of the engine, a car is faster than a boat with the same horsepower. The car has a transmission that has several gears that allow you to go at a higher speed at the same rpm as you overcome the initial inertia. The only forces that the car has to overcome is friction and wind drag.
A boat sits low in the water and has much more drag from the water. The drive train usually is geared to one speed. There are changes in design that can allow the boat to go faster, like hydroplanes, but speed and gas mileage is usually won by the car.

The average 20 foot open bow boat with a 350 engine will go 50 to 60 miles per hour-My G20 Glastron goes 55
Ski boats are about the same.
A 25-30 foot cruiser might go 30-40 mph
The 20 to 24 foot Baja's and Scarabs go 60-70 MPH
My Checkmate will go around 80
Race cars and boats are totally different.

Using the definition of car as a form of transport with four wheels, then a car, definitely. One broke the speed of sound a few years ago. Made a pass at 763 mph. And backed it up. Boats have been clocked at 319 mph.

Powerboats can reach top speeds of 280+ mph, but rocket cars have reached speeds of 400+.
Tires have more friction and thus can grip the surface better than a boat which is hydroplaning across a body of water. More friction means more potential for propulsion.

Depends. If the race is one land, the car will probably win. If the race is in the water, my bet is on the boat.

Well all I know is a boat is faster in the water. :-P

depends where you are and how useful a boat or a car is ... if you are in Kansas .. not very useful .. if you are in the Great Lakes region, very useful, provided there are ferries and/or causeways.
