Patent ID: 7288010

Claim:
A personal watercraft comprising: a body including a hull and a deck covering the hull from above; an engine accommodated in an interior of the body; and an exhaust system that is accommodated in the interior of the body so as to be disposed behind the engine and is configured to guide an exhaust gas emitted from the engine outside the body; wherein the exhaust system includes an upstream muffler and a downstream muffler located on an upstream side and on a downstream side in a flow of the exhaust gas, the exhaust system being configured to guide exhaust gas emitted from the engine flowing through the upstream and downstream mufflers, a pipe extending forward from a front portion of the upstream muffler and having a front end portion coupled to a downstream end portion of an exhaust manifold of the engine, a first exhaust pipe through which the upstream and downstream mufflers communicate with each other, and a second exhaust pipe configured to extend from the downstream muffler outside the body; and wherein the upstream muffler and the downstream muffler are arranged in parallel, the first exhaust pipe is configured to couple a rear portion of the upstream muffler and a rear portion of the downstream muffler to each other, and the second exhaust pipe extends toward a center in a lateral direction of the body from the downstream muffler at a location forward relative to a location where the first exhaust pipe is coupled to the downstream muffler, through a region that is located closer to the engine than the first exhaust pipe, and extends rearward through a region forward and lateral relative to a location where the first exhaust pipe is coupled to the upstream muffler.
