The boat was straining and groaning and quivering like a monster in pain.

Instantly, the boat quivered!

Beneath his feet the boat quivered, and the surface of the glistening thick water seemed to jiggle slightly, like gelatin that had begun to set.

The boat quivered, bumped a few feet along the ground.

Tom's boat quivered from end to end and he quickly shut off the power.

They were a couple of miles from land when it suddenly ceased paddling and sat tense with its paddle poised in the air; at the same moment the boat quivered and shot forward as if from a catapult.

Stallan reached down and pulled it free and the boat quivered with pain.

Liza moved forward and tried to scramble up next to Sam, but the boat quivered and shook.

And then, to everyone's astonishment, the motor of the boat suddenly started up, and the boat shook and quivered as it shot forward and sent everyone almost on their faces!
