Yamaha 1.8L supercharged engine sound.

Sounds perfect...quit worrying..
 
Really hard to tell with various recording devices...but, it sounds kind of like mine. I guess. It is a bit "rattling" at idle. Would probably have to hear it in person.

Is the boat new to you? Or has the engine sound changed since you got it?

Hard to tell if it’s normal. Sounds a little louder but otherwise sounds normal to me best I can remember how mine sounded. It could be your phone or whatever. For reference this is how mine sounded (skip towards end of video).

No prob. On my FZS its more apparent because i run a custom air intake, so its not muffled at all
 
My boat had the same sound and i was concerned about it. 70 hours this season and nothing has happened!
 
It sounds like we know why it was sold to you.
How many hours on the motor?
 
Sounds normal
