What is the main difference between the Yamaha f series engine and the sho? Thanks in advance.
What is the main difference between the Yamaha f series engine and the sho? Thanks in advance.
The F series weighs more (maybe 40 pounds) and i believe comes in 25” and 30” shaft lengths. The sho comes in 20-25” lengths. Not sure about this but it seems to be the differences that i can remember.
You can get the F series in 20" shafts.
F200 is 3.3Liter block, SHO 200 is 4.2 Liter block.
Different lower unit also

the SHO is for performance hulls -- the f blocks are for saltwater water and pontoon boats

"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
Does the F series have the ceramic coated bores or is that just for the SHO?
F Series not as fast. But goes for years. I'm hoping mine is a bullet proof one. I have been very happy with my F225. Not as fast as a 2 stroke, or the SHO but I still get there.

Its literally the same block in 225 and 250, just different tuning. The weight difference is the trim bracket, cowling, and exhaust
