Description
This scratch and dent Yamaha VF225LB is a 225hp V MAX SHO four-stroke outboard with remote mechanical controls, electric start, power trim and tilt, and a 20" long shaft, weighing 529 lbs. Built for competitive bass boats and other high-performance fishing boats. It's new and unused, and as an authorized Yamaha dealer, Boat Specialists sells it with the full Yamaha 3-year factory warranty, after our factory-qualified technicians test-run it.
The V6 V MAX SHO brought four-stroke efficiency to competitive bass fishing and quickly became the pros' power of choice, powering four consecutive Bassmaster Angler of the Year titles. The latest version adds 40 percent more charging power, up to 70 gross amps, wrapped in a striking new cowling design.
Yamaha VF225LB Key Features
Charging Power: The V6 V MAX SHO now produces up to 70 gross amps of charging power. This exciting, 40 percent increase in charging is more than enough juice for your growing array of on-board tech. They can also be equipped with an optional isolator lead to better charge house or trolling batteries.
Real-Time Performance Data: Optional digital backlit gauges provide real-time outboard performance, boat systems and environmental data at your fingertips. Streamlined displays are designed to withstand the elements and are available in square or round style for single- or multi-engine applications.
Fast, Easy Tilting: With a quick double-tap of the trim button, Yamaha’s new, exclusive, TotalTilt® performs a full tilt up or down, until it reaches the trim rams. This makes trailering quick and easy and is handy whenever you need a complete tilt up or down.
