Abstract
To miniaturize an exhaust manifold to facilitate disposition of an engine in a boat body. A multiple cylinder engine having an exhaust manifold on a side portion thereof is disposed such that a crankshaft thereof extends along forward and rearward directions of a boat body. The exhaust manifold has a structure wherein exhaust pipes connected to exhaust ports of the engine are distributed upwardly and downwardly in such a manner as to form confluence pipes above and below the exhaust ports and the confluence pipes are further joined to each other to form an exhaust gas exit from the exhaust manifold. The exhaust gas exit is disposed at a substantially central portion of an internal space of the boat body in the vertical direction and an exhaust gas turbo charger is connected to the exhaust gas exit.
