2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO In-Line VF90LB

Meet the Black 2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO VF90LB—a standalone outboard engine listing built to bring big-attitude performance to the hulls that live in the sweet spot of versatility. With 90 hp (67.2 kW) at 5500 RPM and a strong 1.8L (1832 cc) in-line 4-cylinder platform, this VMAX SHO is a natural match for a wide range of 17–19 ft class aluminum fishing rigs, bay boats, and utility/skiff-style hulls where quick holeshot, confident midrange pull, and controllable top-end are the whole point.
This is a 4-stroke with SOHC and 16 valves (4 per cylinder), designed to deliver the kind of responsive torque that helps a load-sensitive hull pop on plane cleanly—think full fuel, gear, and passengers—without feeling like the engine is working overtime. The 2.33:1 gear ratio helps translate that power into real-world thrust through a prop, making it especially appealing for boats that need strong acceleration and steady grip at practical cruising speeds.
At cruise, the combination of fuel injection and a 10.0:1 compression ratio means you can lean on regular gas while still enjoying efficient, predictable performance for longer runs between fuel docks. It’s also equipped with a 35-amp alternator, great for keeping onboard electronics happier while you’re racking up hours on the water.
Confidence features are baked in for real boating conditions: it’s salt water capable, uses water (open loop) cooling, and includes an engine alert system (visual/audible) plus emergency RPM reduction to help protect your investment if something goes sideways.
Rigging-wise, this VF90LB comes as a remote-steer outboard with power trim and a 20-inch shaft, weighing in at a manageable 353 lbs dry—a solid fit for transoms designed around modern mid-horsepower four-strokes.
If you’re looking for a sporty, tournament-inspired Yamaha outboard that can wake up a mid-size hull and still behave like a sensible cruiser, this Black V MAX SHO VF90LB is ready to make your next repower feel like an upgrade in every mile. Warranty coverage varies by dealer and program—contact us for the current Yamaha warranty details on this engine.
