The 14-15 model year release seems to have resolved the issues. I didn’t hesitate in re-hanging one. I also agree with Paul on the 1.62 gearing. That would go a long way in getting to the next level on performance hulls and really help with propping choices. I have had zero lower issues and Wayne’s mod will run up to 3” above with good WP.
Can you even get a SHO right now....?

That sucks sounds like the luck I have
Not taking anything away from Yamaha or Mercury but that happens to both engines some will be trouble free for years and some will give you problems from the start Gona keep my old 300 hundred pro mag its old technology but seem to have less problems than the new stuff
Went to the boat show today, and there seems to be lots of SHO's available. The price is right on them to. As far as reliability goes, Yamaha is the only brand I haven't blown up yet. Lol.
Paul is that a stock yammi running that speed?
He probably did before he got a stroker. Lol
Greg that is a stock 200 SHO with a ECU flash and it has a sport master......It had more in it but ran out of lake...Never a had a Stock Yamaha ever!...lol

So, what do you guys believe the top speed for a flashed SHO with a sportmaster is?
I suspect that it would run 100mph or above!

It's official, I bought a SHO. Thanks for the advice.
Break it in by the book and you should be fine hope it gives many years of trouble free service
I heard something about not even being able to get a SHO right now if you wanted one. Not sure how much truth there is to it but I heard they haulted production for now.

I would go with an E-tec but since thats not one of your choices go with where you have the best dealer reputation for repair/service.
