2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO In-Line VF150XB

Meet the 2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO VF150XB—a Black outboard that brings big‑water attitude to the 150‑horsepower class. This is an engine-only listing (not a complete boat), perfect for repowering or building a serious rig around a proven, performance-minded platform.
At the heart of this VMAX SHO is a 2.8L (2785cc) in-line 4 with DOHC and 16 valves—a combination designed to breathe freely and deliver strong, confident pull. With 150 bhp (111.9 kW) at 5500 RPM and a full-throttle range of 5000–6000 RPM, it’s a great match for a wide range of hulls that live in the “do-everything” zone: bay boats, multi-species fishing rigs, and versatile center consoles that want quick response out of the hole and the ability to stay efficient once you settle into cruise.
Fueling is gas, fuel-injected, and it calls for mid-grade—an easy ask when you want crisp throttle response without the fuss. That fuel injection pairs nicely with the SHO mindset: strong acceleration when you need it, plus the kind of clean, controlled delivery that helps you run comfortably at cruise without constantly chasing the throttle.
This VF150XB is built for real-world boating, too. Open-loop water cooling, an electric starter, and a healthy 50-amp alternator support long days on the water. It’s also salt-water capable, and Yamaha includes an engine alert system (visual/audible) plus emergency RPM reduction—smart safeguards that help you keep your day on track when conditions (or maintenance schedules) get demanding.
Rigging-wise, you’re looking at a 25-inch shaft with remote steering control, power trim, and propeller propulsion backed by a 2.0:1 gear ratio—a setup that’s right at home on many offshore-capable and heavy-duty transom applications.
Want a Black 150 that’s eager, capable, and ready to anchor your next repower? The V MAX SHO VF150XB is ready to bolt on and go. Warranty coverage varies—ask us for the specific warranty details on this unit.
