The V6 V MAX SHO® has left a trail of trophies, titles and prize money in its wake. In fact, it was the power behind five of the last six five Bassmaster® Anglers of the Year. That includes Brandon Palaniuk, who said, “I’m gonna fish until the last second, no question. Because I’ve never second-guessed my V MAX SHO. All I have to do is turn the key. It’s going to start every time. There’s a peace of mind and a confidence in a motor like that.”
