Newton's Third Law: For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The boat (and man) would receive an impulse force opposite to the direction of firing. The boat would move opposite to the direction of firing. To determine how much, you would need to consider the relative masses of the boat/man vs the bullet, and include the duration of the impulse. (The boat would probably not move far, but it would move.)

Do horizontally launched projectiles have a horizontal acceleration?

No, horizontally launched projectiles do not have a horizontal acceleration after being launched because there are no horizontal forces acting on them once they are in motion. Horizontal acceleration only occurs if there is a change in velocity in the horizontal direction, which would require a horizontal force.
