The Yamaha VF250XB is part of Yamaha’s high-performance V MAX SHO® lineup, engineered for boaters who demand speed, acceleration, and reliability in a sleek SHO (Black) finish.

Built for both bass boats and larger bay or offshore performance hulls, the VF250XB features Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for optimal fuel efficiency and throttle response.
