Captains Call is sold by Corsa Performance.
You would have to install the Y pipe to direct the exhaust thru the prop, I believe you have to lift the motor to install it.

Surprisingly when you are riding in the boat the noise is not that load.
You can put out a long rope to ski behind.

He could put in "Captain's Choice" , but then the engines would be Crusader blue. 
How about just putting good mufflers on it (or go full time through the drive as a courtesy to help prevent other boaters and land dwellers from getting unnecessary headaches , and possibly conforming to local noise regs as well? As About Time notes, the noise is worse ( miles away) for those not in the boat causing it. That says a lot about those running puposely loud craft. Just curious-Is there really that much needed performance gain with open exhaust for the recreational boater or is it mostly just about noise & attention, good or bad?
But here's Captain's Call info & FWLIW I greatly applaud your thought of at least having a choice to limit the exhaust effect on others (& noise regs) by optionally running exhaust through the drive(s):

Depending on the boat, it can make a big difference. I had about 5 mph difference when using the Captains Call on one of my speedboats.

Another option is to install down elbows directly to the exhaust tips.
The exhaust goes into the water at idle and when on plane tips come out of the water.
There are also add on mufflers, look funky but work
All are not cheap but can solve your problem
This is becoming a problem in some area's and well discussed on all the high performance web sites.
Good Luck
