Only 136 Engine Hours

One of the biggest advantages of this motor is its exceptionally low 136 engine hours.

For a used high-output 250HP outboard, the low operating hours make this an appealing option for buyers looking for a premium Yamaha VMAX SHO without purchasing a brand-new engine.

Compression Tested – 170–180 PSI

Compression has been checked across all cylinders and measures approximately:

170–180 PSI

The readings provide buyers with useful information about the engine’s current condition and show consistent compression across the cylinders.

Yamaha VMAX SHO Performance

The VF250 VMAX SHO is Yamaha’s high-performance 250HP four-stroke platform. It uses a 4.2-litre, 24-valve DOHC V6 configuration, electronic fuel injection and a 5,000–6,000 RPM recommended operating range.

The VMAX SHO was developed for applications where strong acceleration and performance are important, including fishing, skiing, racing and high-performance recreational boating.

20-Inch Long Shaft

The VF250LA designation corresponds to Yamaha’s L/long-shaft configuration, with a transom height specification of approximately 19.4 inches (493 mm). Yamaha also offers the VF250 in an X/25-inch configuration, but the VF250LA supplied here is the long-shaft version.

Buyers should confirm their boat’s required transom height and shaft length before purchase.
