📖 Model Background

The Yamaha 150 HP 2‑stroke outboard (model names like SX150TX/ETX/VX) was produced from approximately 1997 through 2003 as part of Yamaha’s Saltwater Series II V6 lineup. Powered by a 2.6 L (2,596 cc) loop-charged two-stroke engine with twin-throat carburetors, CDI ignition, and later introduced HPDI direct fuel injection, it produced a well-rounded 150 HP at 5,000 RPM. With a dry weight of around 229 kg (505 lb), it featured power trim & tilt and a robust gearcase designed for saltwater and offshore use.

Praised by boaters for its strong mid-range torque and “bulletproof” build, this 150 HP V6 earned a reputation for being easy to maintain and highly reliable especially in HPDI variants, which were considered some of the best direct-injection two-strokes Yamaha ever built.
