You live for the weekends. The boat’s hitched, the gear is loaded and you know exactly where you’re headed to fish. Whether there are snook and redfish, bass or walleye on the agenda, the In-Line Four V MAX SHO® is game. Available in 175, 150, 115 and 90 horsepower, this powerful In-Line Four series sports a sleek, new V6 V MAX SHO®-inspired cowling design for 2024. It also offers a surprising tech package for maximum efficiency and high performance, and the option of a 25-inch shaft for deeper waters. This makes the I-4 V MAX SHOs perfect, no matter what kind of fishing you love.
90 HP
The All-New VF90 In-Line Four V MAX SHO. A single-overhead-camshaft design with four valves per cylinder and 1.8-liter displacement makes the In-Line Four V MAX SHO 90 a class leader in torque, top speed and efficiency. Still, it's one of the quietest 90-horsepower outboards on the water. That makes for some pretty stealthy fishing.
