Hole Shot/Acceleration; Speed/Distance Comparison - Yamaha V MAX SHO FourStrake Owner's Manual

V MAX SHO
PERFORMANCE TEST DATA
F250 SPECIFICATIONS
HOLE SHOT / ACCELERATION
Yamaha's Variable Camshaft Timing system advances and retards the angle of the intake camshaft to dramatically increase
power and throttle response in the low- and mid-rpm ranges. This feature helps Yamaha's new 4.2 liter big-bore V MAX SHO
four stroke provide awesome hole shot and mid-range acceleration you have to feel to believe.
SPEED / DISTANCE COMPARISON
Yamaha's new V MAX SHO four stroke outboard utilizes an advanced sensor that allows maximum safe ignition timing.
The resulting hole shot and acceleration is so amazing that it outperforms popular two stroke models, and excellent top speed
performance gets you to your next spot fast - even if it's miles away. It's a difference you can feel.
