Powered boat is scrapped (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rowed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'powered boat' is the first definition.
(rowing a boat powers it)

'is scrapped' is the second definition.
(scrap can mean to argue or row)

(Other definitions for rowed that I've seen before include "Took part in regatta, perhaps" , "Used oars" , "Squabbled" , "Sculled" , "Propelled by oars" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
