Yamaha VF250LB Outboard Motor

20-Inch Shaft | V MAX SHO® Series | EFI | Electric Start | Power Trim & Tilt | SHO (Black)

The Yamaha VF250LB brings championship-level performance to boats that live for speed and precision. This 4.2-liter V6 cranks out 250 horsepower with instant throttle response and a sharp hole shot that gets bass boats, bay rigs, and flats boats up on plane fast. Yamaha tuned it for the kind of midrange pull tournament anglers depend on all wrapped in a bold, SHO (Black) finish that looks as good as it runs.

With a 20-inch shaft, this outboard is made for lower-transom boats that need quick planning and responsive steering. EFI keeps operation smooth and efficient, while Power Trim & Tilt gives you total control over running angle and performance. Lightweight, powerful, and built for real-world reliability, the VF250LB is pure Yamaha muscle.
