2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO V6 4.2L VF250XB
Description
Meet the 2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO VF250XB—a Black outboard that’s built for boaters who want hard-charging performance without giving up day-to-day usability. This is an engine-only listing, perfect for repower projects or dialing in a new rig where you want Yamaha’s VMAX SHO attitude bolted to the transom.
At the heart of this outboard is Yamaha’s 4.2L V6 muscle: 250 hp (186.5 kW) at 5500 RPM, delivered through a smooth DOHC, 24-valve design (4 valves per cylinder). With a big 4169 cc displacement and a 10.3:1 compression ratio, this powerhead is all about the kind of torque that helps heavier bay boats, offshore center consoles, and multi-species rigs climb on plane quickly and stay confidently on top when the load grows—more people, more gear, or rougher water. Pair that with a 1.75:1 gear ratio and propeller drive, and you’ve got a setup aimed at turning horsepower into real-world push.
Because it’s a modern fuel-injected four-stroke running on mid-grade gas, this V MAX SHO is designed to be a strong cruiser as well as a throttle-happy performer. In practical terms, that means you can settle into an efficient cruise for long runs, then bring the revs up when conditions or confidence call for it—right in its 5000–6000 RPM full-throttle operating range.
This VF250XB is also ready for serious water time. It’s salt water capable, uses water (open loop) cooling, and includes a visual/audible engine alert system plus emergency RPM reduction to help protect the engine if something isn’t right. Convenience and control are covered with electric start, power trim, and remote steering control, while a stout 70-amp alternator supports onboard electronics and charging needs.
Fitment matters, and this one is a 25-inch shaft model, with a listed dry weight of 567 lbs (257 kg)—a solid match for hulls that want big-block authority on the bracket.
