ABSTRACT:
A personal watercraft having a hull with a plurality of strakes and an inboard internal combustion engine which powers a jet-pump propulsion drive for propelling the watercraft through a body of water. The watercraft includes an exhaust system, that is in fluid communication with the engine, which terminates at a number of rearwardly facing exhaust outlets. Each of the outlets is positioned in the hull adjoining one of the strakes' rearward end, thus being located below the water's surface when the hull is in its normal upright position.
