Almost certainly the boat will have one V8 in it. Almost certainly the V8 will have tubular headers on each side, four cylinders down into one. And then the single pipe on each side will rise into a polished 304 stainless steel Aero muffler and out.

Anyone can assume there are two V8's, but this boat might well have just one. Lots of boats are very high performance and have one V8 in them. With collector headers, one pipe each side into one Aero muffler makes sense. Dyno tests have shown that in fact Aero headers may be more efficient than an open pipe, and this will help to reduce the noise level.

Funny thing is that the Aeros may actually improve the fuel economy, while improving performance and reducing noise somewhat. And the bling bling doesn't hurt, does it?
