2010 Yamaha VMAX SHO: Mercer gets his socks blown off!

Fact of Fishing's Dave Mercer sees new light with the all-new 2010 Yamaha VMAX SHO ....

[@serasgaming]

i still like the oldschool 2strokes the engine i like the best is the 1970-1980 mercurys they r cold blooded as hell but the smell when they fire up omg nothing can replace that smell i love it idk y but its just the best part of goin to the lake

[@dennisgunia7694]

Have a 175 Yamaha 2 stroke great engine I really like it

[@caseyturner8773]

Lol. I'm a Mercury guy but this was a pretty funny commercial. Good job Yammy.

[@stylandokes346]

I have a 2 stroke 150 pro v on my 88 stratos. Tends to flood very easy and has a lot of trouble going into gear but once you get her going she's a beauty

[@markshul03]

I love how people are downing Yamaha and screaming go Mercury. I mean I love Mercury, in my opinion there is no better outboards made, but Yamaha and mercury partnered to produce their lineups of 4-strokes and they are both incredibly similar. If you like one, you'll likely enjoy the other.

[@Riiyan]

I'm a fan of both. I don't think one is better then the other, they are pretty much exactly the same across the board. Great job Yamaha and Great job Mercury!

[@troyshowtime7401]

mark shuler Thank You for a NON Ego comment, I have had both and love them both.

[@d0n315]

I'm a Mercury fan, but both make very nice motors!!

[@zachbartlett2829]

Yamaha 4 strokes are much better than mercury four strokes, well from what ive experienced

[@davebond4593]

mark shuler only Legendary Yamaha stand the test of time

[@j5jeffw]

Give me one right NOW!!! Always love Yamaha Now I love them Even More!!!

[@biodot88]

Bad acting and bad music. Shut up and let the motor speak for itself.

[@bigjeep2195]

After that video I'm buying a Mercury.

[@pookie12222]

just because they put out such a stupid video, im with you

[@Firebird_876]

When your mercury is dead my Yamaha will be running.

[@gregmsnow]

Lucas Hunter your wring the Yamaha 400’s and above would kill a Mercury in reliability and speed at times

[@NytronX]

LOL at buying a dinosaur Optimax instead of the SHO. The SHO and the Suzuki 250 SS are still better than the new Mercury Pro XS 4 strokes.

[@marius9900]

Mercury sucks

[@mistalau916]

etec 250 ho and the opti pro xs 250 are also bigger engines than a regular 250. It's the sticker. but putting the sho against the etec 250 and the opti 250 will be more comparable.

[@quantomic1106]

The Bang Bros Award for acting should go to these folks.

[@LittleSkeeterboat]

I like the Bass Pro Shops logo on that Skeeter, lol looks better on a skeeter than a Nitro anyways.

[@jdjhsjdhshjdnd8384]

A lot of merc lover in here... if u want quality yamaha is the way to go.. Almost all coast guards have Yamaha engines around my neck of the woods...

[@1300SL]

Would rather one of these over an E-Tec any day of the week, unless you wanna spend more time in the shop & less time on the water that is! ;)

[@BulletBlazerSS]

That sure looks cooler than a Verado

[@kylefitzgerald4419]

the Evinrude e-tec h.o 250 still beets the 4 stroke high output motors.

[@fishing7572]

YES!👍👆

[@rikkismith4847]

Only because etecs only make 2 strokes

[@Jolinator]

torque tab built in the skeg , now thats nice.

[@CRFmxracer]

@kaymanclark because 75mph on the water in 40 degree weather isnt refreshing

[@dexter2433]

think about it 25 years ago in america a lot of boat motor manufacturers started to make 4 stroke boat motors because of one reason and that is because it was the cheapest way to make a motor that would meet the epa standard and for no other reason and today with the new fuel injected 2 strokes there is no reason for there to even be a 4 stroke boat motor other than the fact that boat motor makers are making a living on servicing those much more expensive 4 strokes over the life of owning it

[@davebond4593]

Legendary Yamaha the most reliable outboards ever

[@dexter2433]

funny how even in 2018 they are still trying to make a 4 stroke act and perform like a 2 stroke i guess that sees something about 2 strokes

[@moob56]

all yall who are pushin yammies and rudes have obviously never run a good ol' mercury optimax!

[@lewisoutdoors2271]

Did they even break it in

[@DirtMcGert29054]

Carb Two-Smoke for life ..... Yamaha Enduro .... if Somali Pirates can’t kill it I can’t kill it

[@CRFmxracer]

@nitrocdx24 they are great fishing boats yes. but not nearly the best. nitros decks arent bigger than anyone elses. and yes some rangers cant top 70. but i personnally have been on an 18 foot ranger with a 175 vmax at 74. hard to top that for an 18 footer. personnally i believe skeeters are the best all around, of course bass cats and phoneix and legends are good too they just arent available around here in ky.

[@TheBabyOstritchesCold]

its okay this motor but i much perfer Mercury or Evinrude i have noticed the evinrudes are faster though

[@howabouthetruth2157]

+Freaky Uploads You watch & see which one is the most DEPENDABLE over the years.............IT WILL BE THE YAMAHA. Hands down.

[@dexter2433]

today they are all got for 10+ years but the 2 stroke is still better in many ways

[@robfn]

@aladat Is 250 h.p. from a 4.2 liter impressive in boats or something?

[@ericabercrombie6780]

What's up with the stormtrooper mask?

[@fox4life1001]

kickass!

[@CRFmxracer]

@nitrocdx24 dude its common sense that mercurys arent as reliable as a yamaha. and yess before the sho came out the mercs were faster and more fuel efficient but now we got the sho's there is nothing that compares.

[@SimpleGreen2017]

I've seen a lot more e-tecs blown up than Mercury or Yamahas.

[@Firebird_876]

Tyler Sabelko evinrude hasn’t been any good since OMC went bankrupt.

[@NytronX]

Aaaaand that's why Evinrude is now discontinued.

[@onthe4205]

My dads evinrude etec 115 is in the shop at least 3 times a year and it is just a 2016

[@TheEliteFisherMan]

you can buy those at bass pro shops, there so no bugs and stuff hit you in the face LMFAO

[@kaymanclark]

why was he wearing a "Save Phace" paintball mask?

[@kenolver7412]

e-tecs are OK as long as you can keep them running, ask the pros that have broke down In their tournaments.

[@rama6maiden]

what kind of boat is thaT??

[@jasonw500]

lol. Yamaha for life

[@CRFmxracer]

@nitrocdx24 and i just looked it up. both the pro xs and the sho weigh 505lbs. same weight. the sho is more powerful, more acceleration, more top end, since its a 4 stroke more reliable, and better fuel milage too.

[@CRFmxracer]

@nitrocdx24 look up sterling bass boats. that is a big deck. check ur pms im gonna send you a video

[@CRFmxracer]

@nitrocdx24 bullets, allisons, norris craft, strokers, gamblers/"sterlings" are all together with being fast as hell but get blown around alot, not very good fishability. skeeters, phoenix, legend, basscats are all together in the second tier of faster boats. stratos and pro craft are about the same, great fishabillity just not a front tunner in speed. rangers nitros and tritons are the slowers particularly nitros and tritons. nitros hull is weak as hell kvd's is reinforced, custom not standard

[@user-gr2go4bq8v]

Mercury best

[@Bassfanatic94]

Is Dave acting?

[@CRFmxracer]

@nitrocdx24 nitros are the slowest boats on the water dude.

[@ThePCguy13]

What you came to see 5:00

[@Ozziepeck11]

shit that looks fun!

[@kwikuk]

Lol the guys all sound like they have synthesised voices. Best just to show the engines getting used, how they sound, and what they deliver and get rid of all the rubbish acting. Very nice motor, although a tad too powerful for my 16ft'er! :-)

[@jeremiahbrumble1962]

kwikuk. hahaha

[@n4sir804]

i got an SHO...cant hear it anyway....lol

[@farmboy3w]

they practically castrated the old ones

[@texoma_outdoors]

Bullets are not the fastest bass boats allison is the fastest then stroker then bullet. Basscats gamblers and phoenix boats will all out perform a comparable skeeter. Skeeters are great boats but run in the middle of the pack.

[@bmhhen8795]

you couldnt of said it any better i own a stroker and allisons are faster but there not as stable and fishable as a stroker but finally someone knows what there talking about. some allison models are not as fast but most of them are

[@zimks]

Yeah they might be a little faster but skeeter and ranger won't cat walk across the lake

[@bmhhen8795]

I have a stroker and it doesn't cat walk at 100+ mph I can't speak for a Allison cause I've never owned one...... Strokers have a 94 1/2 inch beam very good fishing boats and handles awesome

[@zimks]

My ass you don't don't chine walk at 100 mph

[@bmhhen8795]

zimks Ya your going to a little but if know what your doing it isn't bad at all you fuckin idiot

[@reeceponson5020]

If mercury suck y own all records and ain't no yahama ever outran a mercury

[@boatbrothers4630]

Love yamaha

[@scottbaker4314]

TEAM MERCURY!!

[@arnomaas6452]

lame scenario to present such a good product !

[@CRFmxracer]

@rama6maiden 2010 skeeter FX21

[@jancloddlafront9185]

get ready: 4:52 minutes before engine starts... And sweet jap mechanics stay in the shop while fato tells the other: I don't know what you did but it sounds blbabla.

[@bahamianfreedivermay6859]

That take to long to plan

[@finbrok7038]

If it was brand new they would of had to brake it in

[@windwhipped5]

A big engine doesn't go fast unless it hits the water RIGHT? The companies pay geeky IT punks to run the simulators. Those dudes or chicks don't fish unless it's on the Weee. So.., how do you create an algorithm (math) problem to correlate engine sales with catching a single fish at a Tounament? hmm.. If you can figure that one out you leave a zillionaire!. But.. the reality is fisherman need to catch real fish. BUT IS IT ALL A BIG FRIGGIN DRAG RACE! C'mon people.. Anyone read the tortoise and the hare! . Put that on a simulator will ya and see who wins!.. Well.. The point is It doesn't matter how big and powerful your tool is, it only matters if it works when it really counts..

[@jancloddlafront9185]

5:14 that's where you hit dumb and pathetic.. and change video.

[@jessepushee6981]

imovie edit? sound tracks are so generic!

[@mrfish1991]

So much for a break in period

[@eliwestby4554]

Etec is still the best

[@carterg3339]

Still ETEC all day

[@rdvideoclips]

Why the stupid music so that we can't hear the motor?

[@bassmassterchamp3]

@rama6maiden skeeter

[@CRFmxracer]

@nitrocdx24 rangers are faster than tritons. bullets are fastes because for one they are the worst bass boats for actually fishing, the hull sticks outta the water so much they get blown around. next would be gamblers or sterlings which have the same problem. skeeters are the 4th fastest but they actually fish great. then would be phoenix, then stratos, pro craft, ranger, triton, and finally nitro. tritons chinewalk horribly so they cant get to the top end.

[@1OFGODSOWN]

I'd rather fish out of a GAMBLER I paid for than a FREE Ranger.AWESOME ride & fishability from a GAMBLER.Ranger is highly overrated & highly over priced. Skeeter is a great boat but they don't ride anywhere near as good as a GAMBLER.

[@rdr145]

a wish it was a real motor .

[@colinweeks1436]

robbie rogers it is real

[@fox4life1001]

sucks!!! dont buy

[@jeremythompson0306]

We all know this is a lie

[@rafarocket]

someones never heard of Honda

[@aeromastersargentina6579]

and evinrude wins the race again dont you see it? because is too fast for yamahas

[@sonnybartholomew9033]

Yamaha has a four stroke up against a two stroke, so out of the holeshot, yea evinrude wins but evinrude sucks so bad they can't make four stroke, put a four stroke evinrude( which they don't have) up against Yamaha and Yamaha will smoke it in a race.

[@john_hunter]

+jordan Bartholomew That's the point though, it's a two stroke that's more powerful than a four stroke. Why should they make a four stroke when their two strokes already crush everything? Evinrude can travel faster than Yamaha and mercury, Evinrude is more fuel efficient, Evinrude puts power every stroke instead of every other stroke.

[@zachbartlett2829]

John Hunter an optimax would crush an evinrude, but i still like evinrudes

[@john_hunter]

Zach Bartlett Yes I have seen optimax motors, and they are very nice.

[@kenanwalsh6030]

Because this is a 4 stroke engine. You're comparing 4 stroke engines to 2 stroke? What?

[@cott10r]

lame vid

[@federicoluzzi4307]

try e-tec H.O. smoke that yamaha..

[@tikorolle1641]

Yamaha is the best

[@sonnybartholomew9033]

actually I seen a video of an evinrude getting smoked buy a yamaho.

[@zachbartlett2829]

Federico Luzzi well an envinrude is a two stroke so

[@federicoluzzi4307]

Zach Bartlett​ Yes is faster and lighter, but I don't know if the fuel consumption are the same...

[@zachbartlett2829]

Federico Luzzi fuel consumption is better in a 4 stroke, but 2 stroke makes a ton more power faster

[@russelldevane5434]

Watching this video made me a little sick to my stomach. I hate what Bass fishing has come to.

[@Mirageman0373]

comparing a fourstroke to 2-strokes. no compairing????? merc!!!!

[@JustForEmpire]

Looked slow.

[@anthonyhernandez785]

E-tec is way better

[@sonnybartholomew9033]

mercury sucks, lol they waste gas to much and Yamaha's last longer

[@aperson4933]

mercury good.

[@aperson4933]

yea.

[@johntrollsky6762]

Pffft! You call that fast? My cousin Popeye can throw a better rooster tail paddling a piece of driftwood on a can of spinach chasing after Olive!

[@yesimthat1904]

gayeee!!!!!
