📖 Model Background

The Yamaha VF225 SHO (2009–2018) is part of Yamaha’s Super High Output (SHO) V MAX series — a lineup of lightweight, high-performance 4-stroke outboards built for competitive anglers and fast offshore rigs. Featuring a 4.2-liter V6 DOHC powerplant with electronic fuel injection and variable camshaft timing (VCT), the VF225 offers excellent hole shot, class-leading midrange torque, and top-end speed with the quiet efficiency of a 4-stroke. The engine incorporates Yamaha’s Plasma-Fused cylinder technology, eliminating traditional steel sleeves for reduced weight and improved heat dissipation. With a compact design, aggressive styling, and unmatched reliability, the VF225 SHO is a trusted power choice for tournament-ready bass boats and high-speed freshwater performance rigs.
