Here what we like about this new Yamaha V-Max models:

Exhilarating top speed and hole shot and incredible fuel economy—they’re earmarks of the V MAX SHO DNA. They’re also what made our first I-4 V MAX SHO, the VF150, so popular. The new I-4 V MAX SHO 115 is the lightest DOHC 115HP four stroke on the water, and is even nearly 20 pounds lighter than a competitor’s two stroke. The new I-4 V MAX SHO 175 serves up exhilarating top speed that bests previous models by more than 5 mph.

The next-gen, I-4 V MAX SHO four strokes feature:

Smarter Fuel Economy: The I-4 V MAX SHOs delivers the incredibly efficient, clean and quiet performance you expect from a four stroke. Using up to 40 percent less fuel than a traditional carbureted two stroke, the savings alone should be enough to get you on board.

Extra Space: Four-stroke outboards like the I-4 V MAX SHOs eliminate the need for an external oil tank. That saves approximately 28 pounds and frees up storage space for tackle and other supplies.

Easy Rigging: The new four-stroke I-4 V MAX SHOs feature mechanical controls that make them compatible with most bass, bay and flats boats. To complete your outboard control system, choose from analog, 6Y5 digital or Command Link® gauges.

Power and Performance: From the four-cylinder DOHC powerhead with four valves per cylinder, to the counterbalancing technology, each feature of the I-4 V MAX SHOs is efficiently engineered for smooth, quiet performance.
