V MAX SHO®
VF250

FOR THOSE READY FOR A WHOLE NEW GAME.

For years, tournament anglers championed the two stroke, sacrificing fuel economy and power for performance. That is, until Yamaha unleashed the world’s first 4.2L Super High Output four stroke outboard. The four stroke V MAX SHO® offers all the advantages of a two stroke in a clean burning, fuel efficient four stroke. It’s a level of performance that pro anglers have always wanted on the tournament circuit. And it’s officially put two strokes on notice.

  • Engine type V6 (60º)
  • Displacement (L) 4.2L (254 ci)
  • Full throttle RPM 5000 ~ 6000 rpm

Lightning-Fast Hole Shot

The V MAX SHO® has a 4.2L big-bore design that shoots it out of the hole up to 13% faster than its two stroke competitors. Its variable camshaft timing increases throttle response in the low and midranges, resulting in unbelievable acceleration, top-end and midrange punch.

 

Brute Strength

Its 4.2L big-bore design gives the V MAX SHO® class-leading displacement and power-to-weight ratio.

 

Smart Innovations

Micro-textured cylinder walls and a new intake system greatly improve fuel economy. In fact the V MAX SHO® boasts up to 12% better fuel economy than competitive two strokes, and is C.A.R.B. 3-Star Rated for Ultra Low Emissions.

 

Lightweight Design

Yamaha engineers redesigned the cowling, engine bracket and lower engine pan, shaving every ounce of weight, without compromising durability. As a result, the V MAX SHO® is just 505 pounds (dry weight) — a good 34 pounds lighter than previous two stroke V MAX designs.
