V-TOON TECHNOLOGY + YAMAHA V-MAX SHO = EXHILARATING PERFORMANCE
Last week Dave Curtis, Vice President of Operations for Manitou, teamed up with Mike Krautkramer, Senior O.E.M. Application Engineer for Yamaha, to test two of Yamaha's brand new SHO engines. Special thanks to the staff at grace Marine in Bettendorf, Iowa for supporting the testing. Was Dave impressed? Read below to find out.
Yamaha’s new, 4.2 liter, naturally aspirated, sleeveless big
block design coupled with an SHP hull with V-Toon® Technology,
creates a winning combination. The 24’ X-plode cruise paired with the 250 SHO
topped 50 MPH. The Yamaha V-Max SHO delivers gravity defying holeshots and
arm-stretching acceleration that will definitely impress your passengers and
set you back in your seat. The new lightweight design develops an incredible
mid-range that enhances the hull’s cat-like reflexes.
Great holeshots, incredible acceleration and strong top end
normally equates to poor fuel economy, right? Well, not in this case. Through
industry leading four-stroke technology Yamaha was able to deliver all of this
as well as class leading fuel economy. The engineers at Manitou consider the
V-Max SHO to be an excellent choice when selecting a motor for your new SHP.
Is the V-Max SHO and V-Toon Technology, the perfect
marriage? The testing sure put smiles on our faces. But you decide, test drive
one today at a dealer near you.
