The second it hit the water, the V6 V MAX SHO® defied all expectations. It brought four-stroke efficiency to the two-stroke world of competitive fishing. The circuit had never seen anything like it—and the V MAX SHO quickly became the pro anglers’ power of choice. More than a decade later, it’s still going strong—recently powering four consecutive Bassmaster® Angler of the Year titles. It’s clearly still a competitive choice, and it’s getting even better. The V6 V MAX SHO now offers 40 percent more charging power, wrapped in a striking, new cowling design.
