Yamaha VF250XB Outboard Motor
25-Inch Shaft | V MAX SHO® Series | EFI | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | SHO (Black)
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. Delivering 250 horsepower from a powerful 4.2L V6 four-stroke platform, this outboard provides the hole shot, torque, and top-end speed serious anglers and performance boaters expect—without sacrificing Yamaha’s legendary durability.
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. The 25-inch shaft length makes it an ideal fit for a wide range of transom heights, and with Power Trim & Tilt, you can fine-tune your running angle for speed, efficiency, or shallow-water maneuverability.
