[@henlolneh]

As a huge fan of Fisherman's Life as well as a customer of Ken's ... Please, please support him if you have any boat motor needs here in the Bay Area. Integrity is hard to come by these days and this man Ken is full of integrity.

[@danielcoppock]

I'm sorry I just learned how to commit , I 63 , retired Air Force , 3 years ago my wife died , for 3 years she was In and out of the hospital , I stay with her to till God took her home you're videos was a blessing to me , thank you so much ,

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Thank you for your service sir 👊💪

[@TheChefmike66]

Thank you for your service. I am sorry for your loss.

[@zerkerpure0]

Fair winds and following seas, old timer. God bless

[@Papapickles69]

Seeing this 2 years later ray. I hope all is well with you.

[@The.Norwegian]

HEY! I'm a Yamaha tech. The SHO offers a different ignition timing and engine tune to provide more horsepower at high RPM's, but with a little less torque on the lower rpm range . SHO engines can have up to 10% more horsepower at max RPM. SHO's are meant for light boats that go fast. I think you will be very happy with your choice :)

[@The.Norwegian]

The entire engine, aside from the tuning, is the same as the regular F90

[@josephm40]

Thanks for the explanation. 👍

[@danielg6589]

So it’s got VTEC

[@FishermansLife]

Well that explains it!

[@garybenninger1544]

How do you become a tech for those types of motors? Is there a school?

[@martinquintana5837]

You deserve that upgrade Matt, peace of mind while out on the ocean knowing your equipment is on point. Looking forward to more of your videos in search of the big boys on the ocean. Be safe out there and God Bless. Aloha from Kansas

[@edquier40]

I changed my 115 Evinrude for a 115 Yamaha and wow, almost twice the fuel mileage! Much quieter and more power... I think you will LOVE that Yammy...

[@Stevo9999]

I love this channel. This guy's energy is so positive

[@kotaboo3]

Heck yeah, looking forward to all that tuna you'll be getting

Been watching your videos for a few years now. Always learning new things when watching. Congrats on getting over a million subscribers. I started watching your channel when I was deployed back in 2017. Always reminds me of home in the northwest. Thank you very much sir for all that you do and catch a big ass blue fin for us!

[@jakebettencourt8308]

Been watching your KZbin channel for about a year now and I couldn’t be more happy for you man...congratulations on the upgrade and can’t wait to see what you catch out there on the water.

[@Vath01Fly]

Wow I had chills the first time you turned on the motor! It made such a beautiful sound

[@MakeOutHill572]

Been watching you for years since before I was 18 now I’m 20 thank you for all your good content .

[@corinadeleon6679]

Just woke up and had to watch this before my coffee. Wow, you caught a starfish. I love that you reel in some odd catches sometimes.

[@williamviramontes1038]

Congratulations Matt! Looking forward to some more Fisherman’s Life Adventures!

[@k1mchi]

Congrats! Been watching your content for years and decided finally to comment.

[@royalicuz]

God, I love these videos! I just need something to watch on youtube all the time and your channel usually pops up and I get to see these awesome videos.

[@nightfall22]

That is a beautiful setup. I can’t wait to see more of this rig on the water.

[@garybenninger1544]

I’m really happy that you’re back in the swing of things. Good luck this year!

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Omg I am so glad you got a new motor. Congratulations. Can't wait to see you use it.

[@CoalCoalJames]

Quick maintenance tip: Have a large container filled with fresh water at home and after the usual cleaning with fresh water, run the motor for a few minutes in the tub/container ect~

[@josephm40]

Nice outboard! I would love to upgrade, but my 1990 Evinrude 2 stroke still runs so damn good.

[@morrobayfishing5515]

Nice engine!! Love the old man and the dogs still doing his thing.

[@dennistani1986]

Matt, nice motor! That will get you around for a long time.

[@mitchellm.keithley3071]

SWEET! We just repowered out 19' Arima SR with a 90 Merc Command thrust. We love it!

[@deej9367]

I fished out of an Arima 16' for 10 years. Great boat!

[@LanceMcCormick]

Sweet on new motor! 4 strokes rock! We Never turn them off when off shore and can barely hear them!

[@codysilk6002]

I love that you keep your wording mistakes/corrections in rather then re-shooting

[@gradybrowning3976]

Great engine, that thing will serve you for years to come.

[@gaylemcgee2221]

Congrats on everything new and updated!!! Looks great.

[@k4x4map46]

yeah my friend has the exact same Merc...definitely an outstanding motor of its time but when the parts shelves get light and the trolling is towards the shoreline---safe decision on the upgrade!

[@Biggiesmallsz]

I am excited too! Can't wait to see what you catch next, Enjoy!

I remember how excited you were when u got that boat .. tha was super hype kinda sad to see it be replaced

[@Opaleye]

Nice replacement. Im excited for you and your new videos with the new motor!

[@ComblessMan]

Nothing but wow! The price, I had to stop the vid and grasp my pearls. Looking up the motor at Yamaha, very impressive. Your added mods, steering etc. nice. Seeing just how trim that boat runs, wow. Congratulations, what a nice boat and motor.

[@kendallt2020]

Man really glad you made this video , here in florida this motor is priced over 10k, and they can’t get none for 4 months out.

[@fishingfool2644]

I am amazed that your boat is a 16ft. I thought it was an 18ft for sure. Congratulations. I'm months away from my new boat so I know the feeling.

[@FishermansLife]

It's the biggest little boat out there!

Dude love your videos and was so happy when you made the announcement you would be uploading every Thursday and Sunday. Keep ‘em coming and can’t wait to see some more on the boat!

[@CHOPPERBLAZE1717]

Man... I almost forgot how much I ove watching your new videos. I am stoked to see you catch a big ol tuna

[@Jamboliner]

This is a proper boat dude. You won't get sick anymore if you keep standing up and compensate for the waves with your body, so the head stays in the same spot! Imagine your head on a gimball, you need that picture leveled. By the way that new Yamaha looks dope! Be safe and have fun!

[@paulstanek3542]

Shoot, I would be grateful to upgrade my rib with a new 4 stroke 9.9, lol, nicely done and enjoy your new power to get you to those grounds!

[@glenstriper]

Same here!!

[@lazerflavor]

Great info and we still got to see some fishing, even though it wasn’t the focus👍🤙🏻

[@AMILLER415]

Congrats on the upgrades! Great video and I like how you are repping the local businesses! Bay Area!!!!! Hopefully I'll see you out salmon fishing this year. Tight lines.

[@williamparker6649]

Love those yamahas! Biggest problem is trying to start the running motor because they are so quiet. Best outboards there are! Great choice👍👍👍 You have a new boat!

[@NorthwestN8V]

heck ya! pumped for ya to use that new 90 yamaha! looks sweet. congrats brother

[@MrPryceTagg1]

Nice upgrade, I plan on doing the same, I have a Merc 200 2 stroke and boy is it loud, good luck on your offshore trips.

[@day1fishing603]

I must say, you definitely chose the right motor

[@carlossales8710]

Man the fishing down there in Cali got to be better than here in Washington state salmon season is cut short again bottom fishing is closed any rock fish and fishing for long they only give us 45 days in some areas other than that we are screwup here and I bought a nice freekin aluminum boat a few years ago and hardly use it but I love to fish tight lines my fishing friends keep up with the great video. I’m a disabled veteran and my boat is 171/2 jet craft nice boat has two stoke 50 horse Johnson I want to change it out and after watching your video you got me convinced to get a Yamaha that’s what me and my friend been talking a bout thanks

[@alonsogutierrez7152]

Awesome motor Matt, good luck!!! Go get 'em!!!

You know it’s Gonna be a Great Day, when you got Philosophy D in the House !

Congrats on the new motor! Can't wait for some boat fishing vids!👍😄😄

[@110welding]

Congratulations on the upgrade. I did not know the boat was 16', it handles like a 20' out there. I need to upgrade my little boat to something that can go out the Gate. Soon I hope....

[@xmepwnux5990]

Glad to see you fishing with Philosophy D and doing some BIG upgrades to your boat. Hopefully you will catch one and do a collab with Taku Outdoor Chef for some delicious sushi or whatever he's gonna make.

[@johna9530]

Careful with the weight on the back brace I know someone who upgraded engines and the brace broke from the weight.

[@HeRefish]

Matt and philosophy d . You guys inspired me to get out there and fish. I never tried to surf fish before Intel I watch your videos . I once ment philosophy d at ocean beach once man I wanted to ask him for a picture but didn't want to get all fan boy on him. Thank you for opening my eyes on new ways to use avocados

[@gamerone996]

Nice motor 👌 me and some friends looking to get a boat or something eventually by where I live to start fishing on the water instead of land.

Nice!!! Mat that’s a major upgrade, congrats.

[@Fishing247]

Beautiful boat. I used to fish on this model for 6 years before my buddy upgraded to 19ft. With 90hp, you can get to the albacore ground fast. Arima 16ft is still my dream boat. I am still looking for one.

[@FishermansLife]

I got really lucky finding this boat. Love it. Wish I had room to add a pilot house!

[@Fishing247]

@@FishermansLife I saw one 16 ft arima last month on the Berkerly Flat with a customed pilot house. Looks cute. You still could do it with a small 4ft long pilot house. 😀

You got a nice motor there. Here in Florida most guys go with a 150 or 200hp on that size of boat. But that looks like it scoots just fine.

Welcome to the four stroke world brother! Good pick btw

[@geebroni4118]

You will avoid problems in the future with battery failure and corrosion, #1 cause of boat failure, by having those batteries in the v-berth. Important to put as much weight forward on short planing hulls. Totally nice setup.

[@terryquan9052]

Kaplan’s is the best. Years ago when nobody had motors I went to him in San Rafael. He had a mountain stacked to the warehouse ceiling of new Yamahas.

[@andyc7074]

You probably already know this but, keep an eye on your oil level especially during break in and thereafter. I don't own a SHO, but I have a 2019 250XCA and you want to watch for the engine making oil. I don't know if you want to idle much during the break in period. Further in the break in if the engine doesn't get up to temp and the rings don't seat you could experience fuel passing the rings causing the engine to "make oil". I am not 100 percent sure is this is a much as an issue with the lower hp yamaha 4 strokes (under 200) , but I guess its fairly common with Yamahas if they are not run hard enough and broken in properly. Just something to keep an eye on.

[@JoseDuarte-or1cc]

Love four stroke motors, bought one in the 80’s from Honda, because I could never get the two strokes to start and run, hated mixing fuel. That is a really nice boat and you are right, you have tons of room....also love it when you guys work together, the bunch of you together make my life entertaining.

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]
