S P O R T I N G C L A S S I C S 1 4 0 Yamaha V MAX SHO 115 The new V MAX SHO 115 further defines freshwater performance for smaller boats. Like other members of the V MAX SHO family, the V MAX SHO 115 is light, weighing in at just 377 pounds, and it has the added benefit of not needing two-stroke oil—or the added weight of an oil tank. The V MAX SHO 115 is the lightest four-stroke DOHC 115-horsepower outboard on the water. Being a four-stroke, the V MAX SHO 115 outboard is quiet by nature. In addition, Yamaha has harmonized all the inertial mass components and added large rubber engine mounts. The result is smooth and quiet operation, unparalleled in its class.
