2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO In-Line VF150LB
Description
Meet the 2027 Yamaha V MAX SHO VF150LB—a Black outboard that brings big-engine attitude to the 150 class. This is an engine-only listing, perfect if you’re repowering or building a rig that needs strong punch without jumping into heavier horsepower brackets.
At the heart of this VMAX SHO is a 2.8L (2785cc) in-line 4-cylinder, DOHC design with 16 valves (4 per cylinder) and a 10.3:1 compression ratio—the kind of layout that’s built to breathe, rev cleanly, and deliver confident midrange shove. With 150 bhp (111.9 kW) at 5500 RPM and a full-throttle range of 5000–6000 RPM, it’s a great match for hulls that benefit from crisp acceleration and steady pull—think versatile runabouts, bay-style rigs, and multi-purpose fishing platforms that want fast holeshot response and easy-on-plane manners.
Because it’s fuel injected and designed as a modern 4-stroke, this VF150 is also tuned for practical day-to-day boating: smooth cruising manners and efficient fuel use when you settle into a comfortable midrange run. Pair that with a stout 2.0:1 gear ratio turning a propeller and you’ve got the recipe for strong bite out of the hole and solid control over a wide range of real-world loads.
This model comes with a 20-inch shaft and remote steering control, plus power trim to help you dial in running angle for changing conditions—whether you’re trimming for lift, balancing a load, or refining your cruise. It’s also salt water capable and uses open-loop water cooling, making it ready for long seasons across varied environments.
Confidence features are built in, too: a visual/audible engine alert system and emergency RPM reduction help protect your investment when conditions or systems demand attention. An electric starter and a 50-amp alternator round out the package for reliable starts and strong onboard charging support.
Fuel note: this Yamaha is designed for mid-grade gasoline. Ask your dealer team about warranty coverage available for this new Yamaha outboard and any current Yamaha programs.
