If you want to blow past the competition on tournament day, this 250 SHO is the only motor you should be looking at. The 4.2-liter V6 block delivers instant throttle response and an incredible hole shot. Pushes my heavy tournament rig effortlessly past 70 mph without breaking a sweat.

Finding a true 250HP high-output motor with a 20-inch shaft can be tough, but this model hit my transom configuration right on the mark. The mid-range acceleration is aggressive, and the power trim and tilt responds instantly when navigating shallow bay chop.

We’ve put over 50 hard hours on this motor running long stretches across the lake, and it hasn’t skipped a beat. Fired up instantly on the first turn of every morning and handles chop like a dream. Yamaha reliability at its absolute finest.

You get the best of both worlds: it idles smoothly and runs surprisingly quiet at cruising speeds when you’re just out enjoying the water, but the second you drop the hammer, that V6 awakens with pure adrenaline. Outstanding engineering from Yamaha.

Upgraded from an older 225 to this VF250LB SHO and the difference in power is night and day. The torque curve pulls hard all the way through the mid-range. Customer service made sure all the specs were locked in before freight shipping. Couldn’t be happier!
