BOAT BOYS Yamaha VF250 SHO VMAX 4-Stroke SOUND CHECK! on 2010 Skeeter ZX250 Bass Boat

[punchmaster123]

I have a 175 hp Vmax on my boat. I dont see too many of those, mostly 150's

[muddog665]

ITs a shame the cost

[robbedoes1985]

is the exhaust pipe in the middle of the prop???

[captlucky3]

hope the mid section or the block dont rot out like all yamaha v6

[BoatBoysLLC]

We use TH Marine Hot Foot, Foot Throttle Controls in them. This is needed so you can keep both hands on the wheel while operating at high speeds. They are easy to install on almost any boat.

[mariner10rpr]

how are you reving with out putting your hand on the throttle leaver control

[alderaforall]

@mariner10rpr mind control

[fishaholic2012]

you're supposed to put the ear muffs on when you run the motor out of water so you don't burn the water pump...my yamaha tech told me the flush hose on the side of the motor is only for flushing purposes not for running the motor...

[BoatBoysLLC]

@fishaholic2012 . Ummmm....Actually with any Yamaha Motor over 150HP you should run the hose on BOTH the flush and the muffs or you will overheat it. If you take a better look you will notice that there is 2 water hoses running to it. Most Yamaha Techs would tell their customers that so they dont burn up the pump. I dont advise that anyone but a Yamaha Tech run any motor out of the water period.

[fishaholic2012]

@BoatBoysLLC o wow sorry i didn't see the other hose and i think my yamaha tech told me that because i only have a yamaha 15 hp 4 stroke kicker motor next to my 115 hp evinrude so i guess it doesn't need to be hooked up on both places like a big engine does...and i'm thinking about changing my 2003 evinrude/bombardier ficht to a yamaha 115 four stroke because it keeps breaking down even though i take great care of it but do you know how the fuel economy is on the F115?

[BoatBoysLLC]

@fishaholic2012 LOL Thats Okay, The Yamaha 115 gets great economy. I think I usually get around 1 GPH with our 22' Tritoon with the F150 on it, WOT at 6K RPM, 40MPH. Yamaha has really focused on fuel economy, take into consideration that the advertised economy is the worst case senario. They dont want to make false statements.

[BoatBoysLLC]

@BoatBoysLLC We were stunned when we crunched the actual numbers. If you usually run the 250HPDI 2-Stroke in Bass Tournaments every weekend, the cost of the fuel to do this with the 2-Stroke will pay for the new boat/motor and the fuel to run on.

[fishaholic2012]

@BoatBoysLLC wow that is pretty amazing, yamahas are the best...i don't know how they do it

[fishaholic2012]

@BoatBoysLLC ok that sounds pretty good, thanks for the info!

[fishaholic2012]

@BoatBoysLLC right now i'm getting about 2 gph with my 115 hp evinrude ficht on cruising speed which is 4,000 rpms does the yamaha get better? i know they're great on gas because my yamaha 15 hp 4 stroke uses only 3 gallons of gas in 5 hours on wot....i know this because i broke down 50 miles away from the ramp and i used my kicker to get back, that thing is a life saver...

[canoetaco]

@BoatBoysLLC So thousands must be doing it wrong than, only Yamaha techs know the proper procedure. What a joke.

[perfectpete1974]

nice , better with a mercury tho thats if power and speed is what you want !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BoatBoysLLC]

@perfectpete1974 , I beg to differ. These motors are detuned from the factory so much that unrestricted the 200HP model will make an easy 400+ HP. I dont hate the Mercury's though.....with out them my service shop wouldnt have any work to do :)

[Tlarsen289]

i know nothing about boats so i was just wondering why the prop turns a little even when the boat isnt in gear.

[TintoreraRacing]

@Tlarsen289 despite the gears not being engaged the movement of the oil can sometimes cause the prop to spin slightly. The same will happen if you jack up your car and start it

[Danidasanic]

WWoowww

[krismoore1984]

sound clean, i know my old Yamaha is good I would like to upgrade to a sho

[djm50able]

what is the song at the beginning?

[BoatBoysLLC]

@djm50able

3 Days Grace, "Let's Start a Riot"

[07roadster17]

Gotta love yamaha !

[BoatBoysLLC]

Yes this motor is stock. This is Yamaha's all new VMAX SHO 4-Stroke with no modification.

[dejongbrett]

@BoatBoysLLC

here is a video of a boat boys boat we bought 3 years ago and still tearin it up..search for "skeeter river run"..thanks boats boys,still lovin my rig!!!!!!

[BoatBoysLLC]

@dejongbrett

Thats great to hear! I checked out your video, the river looks fun! Thanks for all of your support!

[BoatBoysLLC]

@dejongbrett

Awesome, Glad you like it! Nothing rides like a Skeeter!

[BoatBoysLLC]

It has plasma coated cylinder walls, composite cowling and a ultra lightweight mounting bracket. They removed 30Lbs just by yanking the sleeves out and gained a liter of combustion area. Then they threw on the ram air induction, unrestricted muffler, etc, etc....Love it!

[djm50able]

BoatBoysLLC me and my dad might want to get 2 yamaha 70 hp 4 stroke outboards with outboards on our new boat.

[PSQuared65]

@BoatBoysLLC Is this motor stock or modified?

[jamlucas]

I don't know how that engine weighs the same as a 250 pro xs merc.

A few ecu mods would push that engine above 450hp i would think

[truckie517]

BEAST!!!

[yamaoutboard]

that is a kool sound u want one now

[projectearthmover]

Absolutely amazing.  That thing almost came off the trailer!
