Yamaha VF90XB 90HP V MAX SHO Outboard Motor ? Remote Mechanical, 25? Extra-Long Shaft (Scratch & Dent)

The Yamaha VF90XB is the high-performance 90HP V MAX SHO from Yamaha?s In-Line Four series ? a lightweight, powerful, and efficient four-stroke outboard designed for bass boats, multi-species rigs, bay boats, flats boats, and inshore/offshore applications. Featuring a responsive 1.8L (1832cc) SOHC 16-valve inline-four engine with multi-point Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), it delivers class-leading low- and mid-range torque, strong acceleration, impressive top-end speed, and excellent fuel economy on regular unleaded (minimum 87 octane).

This VF90XB model comes equipped with remote mechanical controls, a 25? extra-long shaft (X), electric start, and power trim & tilt (PTT) for easy shallow-water operation and trailering. It weighs approximately 362 lbs (dry), making it one of the lightest 90HP outboards available ? perfect for better boat balance, easier rigging, and superior handling. Additional highlights include a powerful 35-amp alternator for running electronics and charging batteries, Variable Trolling RPM compatibility (VTS), quiet operation, and Yamaha?s legendary corrosion resistance with YDC-30 alloy, multi-layer paint, sacrificial anodes, and freshwater flush port.

The V MAX SHO design emphasizes high output from a compact package, with a reconfigured gear ratio for enhanced thrust and the signature aggressive cowling styling. Real-world performance shows quick hole shots, smooth power delivery across the 5000?6000 RPM range, and exceptional reliability for demanding fishing and recreational use.

This Scratch & Dent unit has only minor cosmetic blemishes with no mechanical or performance issues ? a rare chance to own premium Yamaha V MAX SHO technology at significant savings while still qualifying for full manufacturer warranty coverage. Whether as a primary motor on a lightweight rig or part of a multi-engine setup, the VF90XB combines speed, torque, efficiency, and durability that serious anglers trust.
