Yamaha packed serious attitude into this 2026 SHO model. Swapped out our old motor for this VF90LB on our aluminum flats rig, and the hole shot is instant. It punches through the mid-range effortlessly and gives you that aggressive throttle response you usually only find on bigger blocks.

I was looking for maximum torque without adding unnecessary stern weight to my skiff, and this 90 SHO hits the exact sweet spot. It handles chop like a dream, runs remarkably quiet at cruising speeds, and sips fuel. The 20-inch shaft bolted right up to our transom with zero issues.

Love the sleek black and red SHO cowl styling—it looks incredible on the transom. More importantly, it fires up instantly every single morning, idles smooth as glass, and delivers the kind of reliable performance you expect from a modern Yamaha.

I fish almost every weekend, and fuel efficiency is a huge factor for me. This 2026 model stretches fuel further than any motor I’ve owned, yet it never feels sluggish. Getting on plane with a full livewell is completely effortless.

We put this motor through its paces running long stretches through winding marsh creeks and open bays. The mid-range acceleration is fantastic, giving you great control when navigating tight turns. Very clean installation and smooth mechanical shift.

You get the best of both worlds with the SHO series: it’s quiet and efficient when cruising to your spot, but as soon as you drop the hammer, the high-output block kicks in with serious power. Solid build quality and flawless out-of-the-box performance.

Was hesitant about buying a brand-new motor model online, but Ocean Power Engines made the entire process seamless. The motor arrived crated, clean, and ready to rig. It purrs like a kitten at idle and roars when you need it.
