The In-Line Four V MAX SHO four strokes have achieved the unthinkable—packing signature V MAX SHO hole shot and acceleration into streamlined designs. Overall, this series of 1.8- and 2.8-liter dynamos features a surprising tech package with 16 valves, single- or double-overhead cams and electronic fuel injection—for maximum efficiency and high performance. This makes the I-4 V MAX SHOs perfect for smaller bass, flats and bay boats and other performance hulls. With the option of a 25-inch shaft for all of our I-4 V MAX SHO outboards, anglers prowling big waters on multi-species, bay and flats boats have a competitive edge that runs deeper than ever.
 
The IBEX Award-winning I-4 V MAX SHO 150 was the first of its kind, inspiring the VF175 and VF115. With exhilarating top speed and a 7.7-second hole shot, it serves up signature V MAX SHO performance.

KEY FEATURES

Extra Space: A four stroke in-line design means there's no need for an external oil tank. That means less weight and more storage room in the boat for tackle and gear.

Ample Charging Power: With 50 amps for the I-4 V Max Sho 150, the alternators produce enough power for battery charging and a range of on-board electronics.

Easy Rigging: I-4 V MAX SHO outboards feature mechanical controls for easy, convenient rigging with most bass, bay and flats boats, and are compatible with analog, 6Y5 digital or Command Link gauges.
